That's one good reason it is an unpaid, non-dues exempt position.
Having a faculty advisor is recommended, not required.
The following is from the RSO handbook, pp. 6-7 (found at http://depts.washington.edu/sao/pdf/rso_handbook_09-10.pdf):

Faculty and Staff Involvement
The University supports the principle that it is the responsibility of students, faculty, and administration to work
cooperatively for the attainment of the University's educational goals in the extracurricular, as well as the academic life
of the institution. In line with this principle, theUniversity recommends, but does not require, that student
organizations involve University faculty or staff as advisers to their organizations. Student organizations are also
encouraged to affiliate with related departments. Students should, however, remain in control of the organization at all
times.
Faculty or staff advisers can assist student organizations by providing a continuous link to the University, as staff and
faculty generally tend to remain at the University for longer periods of time than students. In addition to providing a
history for the organization, the adviser can provide guidance in dealing with University policy and procedures.
Advisers, however, because they are not University of Washington students, cannot vote or hold any office in the
organization.
If a student organization would like a faculty or staff adviser and does not know who to approach, the student officers
are welcome to come to theStudent Activities Office for suggestions.
