Deveaux
"The SGA president and vice president are paid as
Work Study or Work Aid. We were required to maintain office hours, in addition to meeting
students at their various meetings."
Khalayi
"Two SGA representatives receive compensation. Our
SGA presidents receives a monthly stipend of $400, a $1,000 clothing allowance and room
and board. The president receives payment during the school year, from September to April.
It’s like a stipend, not taxed. It doesn’t come out of the $160,000 budget SGA
operates on because we have surplus monies that cover things like security. The stipend is
reduced from this surplus. If I failed to mention before, the president and Miss
Bethune-Cookman College have their own rooms. The president’s is more like a studio
and Miss B-CC’s is set up like a one-room apartment. The president has a computer in
the studio. Other SGA members have access to parties or activities held on campus if the
organizations have requested funds from SGA. If there are conferences or trips that the
board feels important, we may select some delegates from our board to attend, and pay for
all costs associated with their attendance. The president has an office space within the
SGA office, you know how companies section off spaces with dividers? That’s what
it’s like. Miss B-CC receives a $1,000 clothing allowance and room and board as

"Yes. These students give so much of their time,
energy, and personal resources for the betterment of student life.
"When I first became a member of SGA, I thought we should be
volunteering our time, but now, when I see how time-consuming our responsibilities are,
how many functions we must attend, how more often than not, SGA comes first in our lives
and we skip our ‘real’ jobs for SGA, I think monetary compensation helps these
student leaders perform their duties better."

"This is a really hot issue where I got to school. As I was running for president, I watched our Student Assembly debate whether or not to increase stipends for our Executive Board. They chose not to and stipends were left at $2,500 per Executive Board member per year. Having since been elected president for next year, I have spent much of our time shadowing the current president, seeing what he does on a day to day basis. Most of our officers put in at least 40 hours a week on the job and as such, I feel they are entitled to be compensated. There needs to be a check on these officers, just as in any job, to ensure they are working to earn their stipend. In the summer, our officers have to log their work and their hours, a practice I plan on continuing throughout the academic year."
