Stanford has more than 600 student organizations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://admission.stanford.edu/student/communities/index.html |title=Campus Communities & Service Opportunities: Student Organizations |publisher=Stanford University |access-date=May 10, 2020}}</ref> Groups are often, though not always, partially funded by the university via allocations directed by the student government organization, the ASSU. These funds include "special fees," which are decided by a Spring Quarter vote by the student body. Groups span athletics and recreation, careers/pre-professional, community service, ethnic/cultural, fraternities and sororities, health and counseling, media and publications, the arts, political and social awareness, and religious and philosophical organizations. In contrast to many other selective universities, Stanford policy mandates that all recognized student clubs be "broadly open" for all interested students to join.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Liu |first=Dustin |date=February 27, 2019 |title=GUEST ROOM {{!}} The Problem With Selective Organizations |url=https://cornellsun.com/2019/02/27/guest-room-the-problem-with-selective-organizations/ |access-date=October 10, 2021 |website=The Cornell Daily Sun |language=en-US |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211010061141/https://cornellsun.com/2019/02/27/guest-room-the-problem-with-selective-organizations/ |archive-date=October 10, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Long |first=Evelyn |date=January 17, 2020 |title=Thank you for your interest: The problem with selective clubs. |url=http://northbynorthwestern.com/thank-you-for-your-interest-the-problem-with-selective-clubs/ |access-date=October 10, 2021 |website=North by Northwestern |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Membership  |url=https://ose.stanford.edu/policies/student-organization-policies/membership |access-date=October 10, 2021 |website=Office of Student Engagement |archive-date=October 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211010061150/https://ose.stanford.edu/policies/student-organization-policies/membership |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Northwestern joins Harvard in urging exclusive clubs to open up their membership |url=https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/05/24/northwestern-joins-harvard-urging-exclusive-clubs-open-their-membership |access-date=October 10, 2021 |website=Inside Higher Ed |first1=Jake |last1=New |date=May 24, 2016 |language=en}}</ref>
