An article published in the Daily 49er this month divulged the salaries of CSULB’s ASI Officers. The president, vice president, and treasurer receive an annual compensation of $22,762 each.
Jameson Nyeholt, ASI Treasurer, explained the components of their payment:
- A salary of $16,752
-Free tuition and other student fees totaling $4,810
-$1,200 food credit for 49er Shops, Inc. vendors
The Chief Programming Officer and Chief of Staff make $14,160 in salary plus $4,180 in free student fees for a total of $18,340. Other ASI officers, such as senators, receive little to no pay; $200 to $300 stipend per semester.
According to the 2010-11 projected budget their salaries come from ASI’s nearly $12 million projected annual revenue, of which about $8 million is from student fees.
The duties of the officers are important to the student body and directly affect the campus. However, because CSULB is suffering from the budget cuts – having fewer classes, higher tuition – some students are confused why our ASI officers are among the highest paid in the CSU system.
