Abstract

This research has tried to verify the necessity and how to establish a student parliament by emphasizing the link between student organizations and social participation. The current damage of student organizations has hindered the growth and expansion of social participation in the university and consequently in the society. The basic question of the article is that what are the existing harms of student organizations and with what indicators and features can the student parliament be implemented? According to the theory and method of institutionalism, the harms of student organizations include failure to provide a suitable model for practicing social participation, weakness in extra-organizational communication, lack of synergism of information and preferences, lack of institutionalization in line with collective participation, disruption of the mission of organizations, inadequacy of regulations in promoting collective awareness. And it is inefficiency in systematic participation and providing collective goals. The way out of this situation is to create a student parliament in the university. Various organizations will gather in it and it is a suitable platform for the growth and expansion of social participation in the university and consequently in the society. In the student parliament, students with different orientations and origins come together to establish communication and solidarity among students, as well as between students and university officials. The student parliament provides a forum where student representatives are divided into specialized commissions and make proposals, discuss and exchange opinions on important issues. Therefore, the student parliament can be an effective institution for pursuing student interests.
