United for Impact: Our Collaborative Coalitions
Big Ten Legislative Advocacy
IUSG is proud to be a member of the Association of Big Ten Students (ABTS) to advocate for policies that impact students across the Big Ten Conference. Founded in 1996, ABTS serves as a network for student governments, fostering collaboration and amplifying the collective voice of over 810,000 students on issues that matter most.
Each year, ABTS hosts a legislative session where student governments propose and pass resolutions on critical topics affecting college students, ranging from higher education policy and student well-being to financial aid and Title IX protections. These resolutions serve as a unified stance by Big Ten students, informing advocacy efforts at both the federal and institutional levels.
As an active member of ABTS, IUSG has sponsored and co-sponsored several pieces of legislation to advance student interests. Below, you will find the legislation we have championed, reflecting our commitment to advocacy and collaboration across the Big Ten.
