Senate Bill Number of the 33r d Session Meeting 33-16 INTRODUCED BY: Senator Nikki Flinner Summary: We only budget for in-state tuition to be paid for all fee-waivers. This is just to clarify that only the amount for in-state tuition is to be credited to stipend recipients. We the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada, represented in the CSUN Senate, do enact as follows: I. Purpose A. To provide Senators with a reasonable consideration for their effort. B. To more fully emphasize the accountability of Senators. C. To fully encourage direct involvement in the ongoing business of the CSUN Student Government. II. Definition A. The CSUN Senate Stipend (herein referred to as "Stipend") shall be a gift to Senators for their continued commitment to public service. As such, all or any part of the Stipend can be declined by a Senator. SENATE BYLAW 59 SENATE STIPEND (Effective: May 27, 1995; February 24, 1997; August 9, 1999) B. The Stipend shall also consist of a credit fee waiver of no less than 12 credits evenly split between Fall and Spring Semesters, and may be transferable to summer sessions [,] . This fee waiver will be provided for the amount of in-state credits only. It will also include [andl a per meeting attended cash amount of (fifty) $50.00. The fall semester will include the second and third summer semester will include the first summer session for purposes of using the credit fee waiver in the summer. Contingent upon the senator attending at least three quarters (3/4) of the meeting. The Fall C. Any raise in the Stipend must be approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Senate in the session preceding the increase or decrease. No Senate shall be empowered to give themselves a Stipend increase. D. When quorum is not met, a per meeting Stipend will not be paid. If an emergency meeting is called due to the lack of quorum, all Senators in attendance at both meetings will receive a Stipend. E. All other emergency meetings will be treated as ordinary meetings for Stipend purposes. F. For the fee waiver portion of the Stipend, any Senator not completing an entire term shall be given a prorated fee waiver based on the percentage of the term completed. The Senate will vote by a majority to define the amount of fee waiver to be returned to CSUN on a case by case basis. Audited, dropped, or failed courses will not be covered by the fee waiver. If any of these occur, the Senator will be charged for the amount owed to CSUN, as fee waivers are processed before the semester begins. If these monies are not returned to CSUN then by the definition in the Regents handbook (refer to handbook for appropriate article) a registration hold and/or hold on graduation will be placed on the above mentioned student; G. The Senate President Pro- Tempore is exempt from this, as he/she already recieves a stipend and fee waiver; H. The amount declared by the Senate shall be budgeted in the CSUN budget each year; I. Senators are bound by Senate Bylaw 40; J. No part of this bylaw may be waived; it must be waived as a whole; K. Senators will be held accountable to the rules established by the Rules and Ethics Committee of each session; L. The Rules and Ethics Committee shall be empowered to bring charges against Senators who fail to meet the above mentioned obligations; M. Penalties, including reduction of stipend, shall only be enforced by a two-thirds (2/3's) vote of the Senate. Senate Bill Number _[1N of the 33r d Session Meeting 33-16 INTRODUCED BY: Senator Nikki Flinner Summary: Due to an act of the University, the CSUN Bar Account was closed.
