"All student senators receive a 6-credit hour
stipend. At the end of each quarter, they have an evaluation with their advisor. If they
receive a position evaluation, they can receive an extra 3 credit hours for their stipend.
So the max ca be 9 credit hours per quarter. SG members are elected for 2 year terms.
Tuition and general fees at our school are broken down according to residency. If you live
in Lake County, the fee is $44.20 per credit hour, Ohio residents is $54.20, out of state
residents is $115.75. Depending on where you live is the stipend you receive. So the
stipend isn't based on a dollar amount.

to help subsidize them, since we make it nearly impossible for them to hold a regular
full-time job."
"They're volunteering to do this — to some extent,
it's not fair to pay them. The compensation is not very much, so not too many people just

“I originally made
contact with Student Leader to get more information on other schools
offering stipends to student government officials. I’ve already
started with students signing petitions for an emergency election to be
held, to include stipends on the constitution. At our last official meeting
held on July 27th, stipends were on the agenda and there were
lots of students who acknowledged the need for such opportunities at LASC.”
Source: Johnie Drawn Jr, president, responded by web on 5/1/01 and by
e-mail on 8/1/01
“Yes, because being a
student first is the primary goal of the student leader. Financial hardships
along with class woes can really have a tremendous negative affect on your
scholastic aptitude. From my perspective, I'm a senior at university of
Southern California, business management and ethnic studies. Also, I attend
L.A. Southwest College majoring in administration of secondary education
programs where I'm running for student body president. As we speak I have
launched the signing of petitions so that stipends can be added on the
ballot to be voted on May 15th and 16th for ASO officers. In the past there
has been a lukewarm luster in enthusiasm, where I would here people say ‘I'm
not getting paid for this.’ Well with the stipend possibilities there will
be no excuses for lukewarm enthusiasm. Also, a lot of the officers occupy
part-time work-study jobs that conflict with committee meetings and
programs. Stipends allow there to be a little more accountability for
individual actions and priorities. Also realizing that on my university
campus there is so much being done and officers that have been being paid
stipends for quite some time now, that I thought it was time for other
neighboring colleges/universities to get up to speed.”

"Officers deserve to be paid according to the

"I'm for it, because I get paid. But I would've done it
whether I was getting paid or not, and the stipends and salaries, it all helps. It IS a

“Yes, they should. They put their heart and soul into making their

"If you get into a mode of doing one or the other, you
can't expect to take that away. Not having it is better, you deal with students doing it
for positive reasons. `Now we should get more, we're doing more things, we have more
students,' especially when you give monetary compensation, it balloons. If you don't have,
I wouldn't suggest starting it. In SG, you get to travel, you get awards, you get to do a
lot more than the average student.
"That's coming from a small school perspective, for the
smaller schools if you can avoid it, there's no sense in opening up a can of worms. If it
takes money to get students involved in SG, that's the wrong motivation.
"Tuition reimbursement is an excellent idea. You're not
giving them cash. It draws in the realm of becoming a real political office. You're
drawing in a lot of backstabbing, people wanting to get positions — free tuition."
"You're going to get students saying we deserve more
— I certainly didn't want to return the money. I was a proponent for getting the
money. If the students commitment is to the organization."
