Student Advocates

This page's intent is to provide information on the the history of EVE University. The information on this page is no longer current.

The role of the Student Advocate was to provide a voice for the student body to the EVE University Directorate and management, and to mediate conflicts between University members. Student Advocates functioned similarly to the CSM, in that they filtered popular issues and concerns raised by the student body and brought forward those that are deemed most important. EVE University contains a large number of players representing a diverse range of cultures and nationalities; when an issue arises it was the goal of the Student Advocate to bring the situation to an amical resolution that allowed members to continue to enjoy their time in EVE University.

A Student Advocate would:

• Mediate when issues arise between University members, staff, or management.
• Provide input where needed to all the Divisions of the University to ensure student needs and expectations are being met.

The Student Advocate had no authority to change policy or independently act in establishing it. They could mediate disputes from a position of authority within the confines of established policy at the direction of senior management.

The Student Advocate role was retired in December 2024 as part of a raft of changes by the new leadership team. The new leadership team set out an aim of resetting the relationship between students and leadership and building a closer relationship with students without necessitating a third party to advocate for them. From this date onwards leadership are responsible for dealing with disputes and maintaining their finger on the pulse of EVE University and the membership's opinions, without relying on a third parry to do so.
