The debate over whether members of the Student Government Association’s (SGA) executive board should be paid will extend into the fall after a university administrator last month overturned a decision to cut stipends from the association’s budget. The Finance Board slashed SGA’s budget in March, denying the organization nearly $30,000 in Student Activity Fee (SAF) funds for stipends. But then-President Mike Sabo appealed, and Dr. Laura Wankel, the university’s vice president for student affairs, struck down the original funding decision last month.

If the requirement was not met at the end of the two-day extension, the election would have been decided by the senate.
I am writing in response to last week’s attack on the Student Government Association (SGA): “Column: SGA should just disolve already.” How can you, as a member of a student organization yourself, disrespect another hard-working organization by saying our university would...
