STUDENT SENATE
Senators approve funding increase
The Student Senate Finance Committee approved $24,557 in funding Wednesday night, including $13,000 in additional funding for Student Executive Committee salaries and $4,270 for 4n6, a forensics club founded this year.
Last week members of StudEx were paid for 57 percent of their total hours worked, according to a report by Erin Pishny, treasurer
and co-author of the bill that requested the funding. The approved funding would have covered 78 percent of their total hours worked last week, according to the same report.Pishny said the report was reflective of an average work week.
"I think it's important that we pay based on work," said assistant treasurer David Cohen, the bill's second author. "We're getting closer to that."
The approved funding for the forensics club will help cover travel costs for the fall semester. The Finance Committee voted down a corresponding bill requesting a travel exemption for the new club.
The approved bill will increase paid hours and not pay rate.
StudEx's nine members will be paid for a combined 221 hours per week. Before the bill passed, their combined hours were 160 per week. Their hourly rate will stay at $7.50.
