On Monday, April 18th, 2016, the UMBC SGA Senate passed the Stipend Review Committee legislation.

The Stipend Review Committee (SRC) is a new accountability system beginning next academic year that will ensure each SGA officer who receives a stipend is completing the job you, the students, hired them for. Twice a semester, the SRC will determine if each SGA officer who receives a stipend should receive either their full stipend, or half of their stipend, for that particular pay period. 

The SRC will not act as a grounds for impeachment if a member does not receive their stipend - however, it may prompt for further investigation from other members in the SGA. All decisions made by the SRC will be made publicly available via the new SGA website and the SGA group on myUMBC. 

The SRC consists of 2 Senators, 2 Finance Board Members, 2 representatives from the Executive Branch (Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Vice President of Student Organizations, Cabinet Members, etc.), and the SGA Advisor. With the exception of the SGA advisor, SRC members have a 1 semester term limit. 

The SRC is groundbreaking legislation between the Senate, the Finance Board, and the student body here at UMBC. 

The Senate would like to thank Josh Massey and Collin Sullivan for their work drafting this legislation.
