The role of a student President is to represent the Association in the University and in the community, act as the official spokesman for the Association through the news media, initiate and co-ordinate policy, assist portfolio holders, be responsible for administration of the Association, be available to hear and act on student complaints, liaise with other universities and NZUSA, and chair Association and Executive meetings.
From my experience in the position, both as a full-time and now as a part-time student, I am convinced that the office of President is a full-time job.
To require that the President be a full-time student would mean that he would have to receive some sort of remuneration.
I suggest that he should be paid along the lines of the Editor of Salient.
