MICHAEL J. AMESQUITA KRISTA M. DONNELLY University of Nevada, Las Vegas Student Government CSUN Justices To: Nick Christiansen, Student Body Vice President From: Royi Moas, CSUN Chief Justice CC: Mike Amesquita, Senate President Peter Goatz, Senate President Pro Tempore David Hill, CSUN Business Manager Date: October 8, 2003 Re: Proposal for Justice Stipends For a long while, the Justices have requested some type of compensation for the services they provide the student body. To my knowledge this request has never been formally requested or rejected. The Justices believe that they are entitled to some type of stipend for their services. The Justices have expressed that their several obligations warrant a minimal stipend. Among these services are obligations such as meeting and publishing an operating policy in the beginning of the semester, confirming Senators, interpreting the constitution, being available to confirm election ballot counts, and being available at a moments call to hear cases; especially those dealing with elections. Furthermore, the Justices also take a large legal liability amongst themselves to ensure that they are performing their duties legitimately. We request that the Senate and in the future the Ways and Means Committee consider allocating funds in the form of a set stipend for each Justice who serves on any given semester. We propose that perhaps a one class (three-credit waiver) be granted or a scholarship/stipend for books be allocated. A set non-variable amount would be most appropriate for such a position. A concern presented in the past is in regards the Justices who do not follow the guidelines and uphold their responsibility to the position, which can be addressed by referring to the operating policy that prevent those type of justices from continuing to serve. Please take some time to consider this proposal and the meaning behind such a stipend/scholarship. As Chief Justice, I have promised the Council that I will continue to request funds for the Justice, something that we, as well as many others seem to favor. Such a minimal amount would speak mountains in significance and would not take away but further strengthen the legitimacy of our positions and the entire student government. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this or any other matter; anytime, at 499-4571.
