Compensation:
"Work study hours which equals $300 per month. This is for the president and secretary only. Vice presidents don’t get paid. When I said that I received $300 per month, that was after taxes. I work 15 hours per week at $5.25 per hour. This translates to 60 hours a month. The total is $315 before taxes, but I receive $298.79. I just rounded it off for the survey. I am paid only during the spring and fall semesters, not during the summer."

"Yes, unlike other positions, they are responsible for every student voice on campus. Also, the time required of an SG officers is so much that holding a job and an SG executive office while still attending college is near possible.
"No. This is an office not unlike other governmental offices. SG officers put in so much time that holding a job while being an SG officer is nearly impossible."

Secretary: $200 per semester
All salaries require a vote of confidence with a 2/3 majority."
Reichwald:
"They get a check for $200 for officers at the end of two semester IF the
senate votes for it. Personally, I think more would be appropriate for all
the work some do."

in Tampa on 1/7/03; James Carnley, SGA senator, and Rebeccas Reichwald,
secretary, responded at the 20th annual National Leadership Conference on
Student Government, 10/30-11/1/98
Scurry:
“Well by the Student Government officers being volunteers I think they
are more dedicated because they’re using their own time. But if they get
paid I don’t think they’ll be as dedicated or work as hard.”
Carnley:
"It is not wrong to pay them. They use a lot of their own resources and
time. I feel that if their salary is comparable to private sector jobs, you
will get candidates motivated by greed. But a small salary is a nice token
of appreciation for people that work very hard-- kind of like tipping."
Reichwald: "No. I think there is nothing wrong with
paying SGA officers. They work very hard and deserve some reward."

“Yes, it would
increase the number of students interested in Student Government by enabling all students
to be involved. I’m involved in Student Government and also hold the position of
resident assistant. Both positions have suffered at time because of the time involved
couple with my studies. If I could have earned money from SG, then I could have devoted
more time to those responsibilities.
“No, because it excludes those, due to financial reasons,

Howard
University, D.C.
Type: private college
Enrollment: 27,000
Name of SG: Howard University Student Association
SG’s annual budget: "Our estimated SG Budget is minimal compared to other
colleges and universities. But we make every attempt to try and make the most of it at
this time."
Compensation:
Currently, the executive officers receive a paycheck from a
budget that our general assembly approves. The paycheck amounts vary, but I estimate that
an executive officer can receive no more than $300 bi-weekly. The pay is not taxed and
it’s considered a waged stipend. The monies come from the student activities fee. The
majority of officers receive some sort of pay with the exception of certain student
councils members. As for the perks that our officers receive, I haven’t really heard
of any of that. Our resources as students are somewhat think so we try and use little
perks like knowing someone who can photocopy documents for us rather than barter tickets
for concerts and games.

"I don’t believe that SG officers should receive a set
salary off hand. Leaders of substance will volunteer their efforts to improve and maintain
the status of their government and represent student body policy equally. However, on the
other hand, the financial situation of the SG officers is ever changing and if they devote
a majority of their time to improving and maintaining the status of their respective
government, then it would require a large amount of their time. So respectively if they
devote a large amount of their free time to student government then I believe that they
should be compensated for their time.
"I think it’s wrong to pay a person who’s work
quality is poor. Rather than pay officers a salary, I think that officers should be given
a final stipend that is reviewed and approved by the student government. At Howard
University in particular we have had officers who have gone without pay for an entire
semester but were compensated with a stipend in the end. But I think it is a disservice to
have individuals devote a majority of their free time and be required to maintain to be
academian and not be compensated for their time."
