My university did bring students into the process...We had a student 
member of the state board of higher education (who could vote...the 
faculty member of the state board could not) and we had a student on 
the presidential search committee.  They also held "town hall meeting" 
type events fror students, where those who had an interest could come 
meet, address, and ask questions of the candidates.  It was an 
official part of the campus interview process.  I believe the student 
government leaders had one-on-one meetings with each candidate as well.

My law school did something similar for faculty searches.  Ironically, 
when the school didn't like the students' choice and pulled some very 
political moves to undermine the process, we tried doing a sit-in in 
the president's office.  It wasn't nearly as successful as the 
Gallaudet students' actions.
