Enrollment: 5,499
Name of SG: Student Government Association
SG's annual budget: $2,000
Compensation:
     "The SG officers don't earn any money or receive any tuition waiver or any extra perks."
Source: Cindy A. Tuttle, SGA president, responded by mail on 10/6/97; Kate Windsor, SGA vice president, responded by mail on 10/6/97; nine other SGA leaders also responded by mail on 10/6/97
     "Yes. Definitely. For the amount of time and effort that officers spend, they should get compensated. But even moreso, if thy don't get money and then they have to get jobs, that takes time (a lot!) away from doing your duties and activities."
     "No, because it is like a job. Of course, they wouldn't get paid as much as the time they volunteer, but now they can have more time to do this instead of finding jobs to pay for college and not having enough time (even if they want to) to be involved."

     “The other SG members are pro-rated, i.e. vice president at  50 percent or half that amount, etc. That information is straight from our executive director of student life—they oversee both y office and SG among others.
     Devanny—“Stipend. The president and vice president also get a tuition waiver as well. The larger the amount, the more frequent they pay. President and vice president are paid monthly. Most everyone else is paid twice a semester.”

     Executive Secretary—$1,000
     Second Vice President—exact amount unknown

     Rudolph—"President and vice presidents receive reserved parking in university president's lot. Officers are given stipends in amounts listed above. The president and vice president receive their own offices, while the second vice president, parliamentarian, and executive secretary share an office."
Other Perks:
     Devanny—“There are personal secretaries in the SG office to run the office. Other than that, nothing too special.”
Sources: Gregory M. Gulas, director of student activities, responded by e-mail on 11/8/01; Susan L. Devanny, financial appropriations chairs, responded by web on 11/1/01; Don Rudolph, SG second vice president, responded by mail on 10/20/97 and by e-mail on 10/21/97; Dan Moss, vice president, responded by fax on 10/14/97
     Devanny—“Yes. It takes a lot of energy, organization, and time to have a successful SG. Otherwise, some type of academic credit should be offered. Definitely a tax-free, scholarship-based stipend.”
     Rudolph—"It depends upon factors such as workload and time commitment involved. For those whose job requirements are only one or two hours per week, no. For those who have positions which require significant time commitments which may preclude the opportunity to hold an outside job, yes."
     Moss—"Being an officer on SG requires a great deal of time and sacrifice. to do the job in an effective manner, it requires the student to dedicate themselves to be available whenever possible. SG officers should be paid for all this hard work and dedication."
