A BILL
BILL HISTORY
Diverse representation is the key to an effective legislative branch. There are
many forms of diversity, including economic.
Executive Council strives to promote diversity, and has beeh generally successful.
However, a main area of diversity has been neglected, that of economics. Many
students must find outside employment to facilitate their education. This
effectively eliminates one potential group from gaining representation.
The position of Representative-at-Large requires a sizeable time commitment. A
working student would find this, combined with job and school, unfeasible.
Paying representatives a monthly salary is the first step to gaining more economic
diversity on Executive Council, as well as acquiring numerous other advantages.
Student interest in UCSU would be enhanced, as students are inspired to ensure
accountability of their paid representatives. Conversely, representatives would
feel a stronger sense of responsibility if their involvement exceeds a volunteer
basis.
BILL SUMMARY

This bill provides a monthly salary of $100 to be paid to Representatives-at-Large.
BE IT ENACTED by the Executive Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
