Comments on: VP admin resigns due to frustrations with SU http://www.studlife.com/news/2009/10/20/vp-admin-resigns-due-to-frustrations-with-su/ The independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:42:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve Howerton http://www.studlife.com/news/2009/10/20/vp-admin-resigns-due-to-frustrations-with-su/#comment-1846 Steve Howerton Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:11:33 +0000 http://www.studlife.com/?p=5923#comment-1846 I think it's absurd to give a stipend to CS40 or SU execs. There are so many students in groups across campus who work just as hard and put in just as many hours as these execs who would be equally deserving of some sort of compensation for their time and efforts.

Another sign is that they all run unopposed. "am concerned" pointed out that they arent compensated for working 20 or 30+ hours a week. Working that long prevents them from being able to hold a job, which also discourages other students from running. CS40 execs get compensation with free rooms. Has anyone thought about paying execs a small stipend. I agree with “am concerned”
