TRANSCRIPT
You have been elected to the Student Government (SG’s) at your High School. Lately, the government has been having some problems. First, only some of the very wealthy students can be elected. You have been fortunate to be elected to the SG this year and want to be actively involved. The President of student government is not elected. He is always a relative of one of the Student Government’s original founders. The current President became the government’s leader when his older brother graduated last year. The President makes all of the decisions for the student government. He can make a decision to have a party, who to invite, how much money to spend, and what to spend it on. The Student Government gets its money from the class members. As a member of the SG you can vote on how much money each person has to contribute. Lately the President has been spending lots of the Student Government’s money by throwing big parties and buying expensive things for himself and the club. The members can offer suggestions on how the SG’s money is spent, but the President doesn’t have to listen to them. Members can decide whether or not to contribute more money to the club’s activities. In addition, there is a minority group of students in the school who have signed a petition for some changes in the school, and the President refuses to even discuss them. There are no regular meetings, but the President can call a meeting whenever he wants. Lately, he has only called a meeting when he needs more money. He can also disband the club whenever he wants. Yesterday, the President called a meeting to ask for more contributions because the SG is running low on funds…
