Student government gives itself a pay raise
In the final minutes of the last Senate meeting of the fall semester, the ASUP (Associated Students of University of Portland) Senate voted to give itself a 10 percent raise, while voting for a 16.6 percent raise for the ASUP president, vice president, director of communications, director of finance, campus program board (CPB) director and speaker of the ASUP senate. Senators, whose positions were not paid until this academic year, now receive an annual stipend of $1,100, up from $1,000. All six Executive Board members make $7,000 a year, up from $6,000. The raise, which makes an Executive Board job the highest-paid stipend position on campus, went into effect Jan. 12.
