Interesting, I have noticed the same at my university and frankly I don't see the point of those jobs. All they do is raise tuition.

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoI suspect that there are two points to those jobs. The not-really-stated point is that they keep the university from being sued for some student having bad judgment, by not letting the students have any judgment. The absolutely-not-stated point is that somebody got a cushy, well-paying job.
- jMyles 11y agoI don't know the legal configuration of other states, but in SUNY, the SUNY administration is not liable for action or inaction on the part of student government. Sadly, the SUNY administration is largely not liable for action or inaction on the part of state officials either, who, in my experience, make worse decisions than students or faculty 100% of the time. (As some folks here already know,) I sued SUNY after being kicked out of school in an act of unambiguous political retaliation, and although I won an injunction, forcing my reinstatement, the state officials involved were granted complete immunity from suit.
