However, "I don't think students' right to self-determination means license to do whatever they want to do," says Richard J. Correnti, vice-president for student affairs at Florida International University.

Mr. Correnti recommended that the president of Florida International disband the student government last year because of the allegations of corruption, including payment of stipends to officers who did not attend meetings.

The student officers controlled a $3-million budget financed by student-activity fees.Florida students pay $6.15 per credit hour for the student-government association.

University officials say the allegations could not be confirmed because of shoddy record keeping by student officers, but the complaints were so numerous that the university decided that its only recourse was to restructure student government and call for new elections.

Mr. Correnti adds: "You can't pay people when they are not performing a job or use student-government money to rent limousines."
