Since its creation in 1917, the Associated Student Body has viewed itself as the voice of University of Mississippi students. In recent years, though, students have noticed a disconnect between the makeup of campus and the student groups that are represented in ASB.
About 36% of students enrolled at the University of Mississippi are in Greek life, and about 9% of enrolled students are in the honors college. These are the groups that have disproportionate representation in student government.
The 2020-2021 senate consisted of 49 senators, and at least 71% of them were members of either Greek life or the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College. Only 14 senators were not affiliated with either organization.

Morgan Atkins always felt like making it to the Associated Student Body presidency was a feat that was expected of her.
August 2018, her first month on campus, was the only time in her college career that she did not have a role within ASB, and over the past three years, she moved around filling different positions in the ASB Senate. On March 2, Atkins fulfilled her family and friends’ predictions when the student body elected her as the 2021-2022 ASB president.

In an Associated Student Body election with only two contested races, Autumn Fortenberry, a junior public policy leadership major, won the judicial chair election with 66.89% of the vote, and junior biology and science education major Alex Mabry won the treasurer election with 65.96% of the vote.
Fortenberry said she felt overwhelmed with the amount of support she had throughout her campaign, and she is excited to continue the work that was started this year, specifically in harm reduction related to DUIs and overdoses.
