The Stuart Hall, named after the late President of the University, Harland F. Stuart, houses the Student Service Enterprise at the ground floor and the CPU Republic at the top floor.

The Central Philippine University Republic (CPUR), often referred to as CPU Republic, is the student government of Central Philippine University in Iloilo City. It was established in 1906, a year after Jaro Industrial School (the forerunner of Central Philippine University) was established, and holds the distinction of being the oldest student governing body (council) in South East Asia.[1] CPU Republic is modeled on the Federal government of the United States and consists of three branches: executive, legislative and judicial.

Recently,[when?] the council adopted a parliamentary form of legislature still composed of senators and representatives.
