The Administrator Test is an assessment tool that identifies the top 11 characteristics that prove that your administration is friendly to SG.
Be honest as you take the test. It won’t help to put all the blame for your current situation on the administration’s back. It takes two to make any relationship work.
Then consult the "grade guide." Then decide how to either thank your administration for their assistance or figure out how you can build a better relationship.
The Administrator Test was developed by Chris Jachimowicz, an ASGA "Ask the Experts" panelist and partner in The SG Consulting Group.

Effective governance on at your campus hinges on a positive relationship between Student Government and “The Big A,” the administration.
SG-friendly administrations are easy to spot. Administrators are easy to talk to, treat student leaders as peers, respect the SG’s authority and role, and value SG’s input on key institutional decisions.
Like any other relationship, this one requires a lot of give and take. If the administration shuts you out of all decisions, it’s next to impossible to serve your constituents. But if the administration sees you as an equal partner in governance, your SG better meet expectations and deliver the goods.
