Student fights for residency
By Jim O'Malley

Kelly Barrow straightened up, took a deep breath, and adjusted her sweater before entering the courtroom to argue that the University of Kansas should consider her a Kansas resident.
Nervousness was understandable — Barrow was representing herself in Judge Michael J. Malone's court yesterday afternoon. The Lawrence junior appealed to Douglas County District Court in December after the University denied her application for Kansas resident status.
Barrow moved to Kansas from Missouri in June 1996 when she started working for her mother's Leawood company, Regional Respiratory Care Staffing. Two months later, Barrow entered Johnson County Community College as a nonresident. Although the community college changed Barrow's status to Kansas resident the next semester, when she transferred to the University in 1997, she was considered out-of-state.
The Board of Regents' residency
rules say that to be a Kansas resident, a student must have lived in Kansas for 365 days before the first day of class, have relied on Kansas sources of financial support during that time, and have come to Kansas with the intent of making it his or her permanent home. The rules presume that full-time students came to the state for educational purposes.
Barrow argued that a job offer from her mother's company proved she intended to make Kansas her permanent home.
She also said the University was suggesting that her employment was a sham because the company was family-owned.
One of the University's defenses was that several documents supporting Barrow's residency claim hadn't been submitted to the University and its residency appeal committee.
But Barrow argued that she had submitted the documents and that the University had lost them.
Barrow also argued that the University applied its residency rules arbitrarily.
She said it was disturbing to be forced to fight for her basic citizenship rights against the University's financial interests.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel, said the University regretted that Barrow took it personally.
counsel, said the University regretted that Barrow took it personally. In response to Barrow's statements that papers were missing from her file, Marino said the University had no reason to want an incomplete file.
Judge Malone asked if the residency appeals committee would have liked to see the documents and whether he could hear evidence on whether the University applied the rules fairly.
Marino said the judge could send the case back to the residency appeals committee and that he could hear evidence on fairness.
Malone said the regulations had created a situation in which Barrow was "a student without a state." He took the case under advisement and said he would inform the parties when he reached a decision.
After the hearing, Marino told Barrow she had no authority to negotiate a settlement for the University.
Council raises parking permit prices
"She was very nice to me." Barrow said. "I don't think KU is against me. The rules — how they are set up — are against me."

In a 9-6 vote, University Council passed a proposal yesterday to raise some parking permit fees by 15 percent.
Pending approval by the provost and chancellor, prices for red, yellow and blue permits would increase to finance the new parking garage north of the Kansas Union. The proposal was first introduced at Council's March 30 meeting by Barbara Romzek, professor of administration and government.
At the March 30 meeting, members of the parking board outlined a different proposal to finance the

garage by selling exclusive parking passes for the University's two parking garages for $175.
Kevin Yoder, budget chairman of the parking board, said the board's proposal to ensure garage spaces would ease the stress on surface lots by taking 821 drivers out of the hunt for spaces. Yoder called Romzek's proposal unfeasible because the garages weren't set up for space-hunting.
"If there are no spaces in the garages, you can't just circle around and go back through them," Yoder said. "This proposal creates a competitive atmosphere that is a logistical nightmare for the parking department and asks 12,000 people to pay for it."
But Romzek disagreed and said that her proposal was more equitable.
"The question is, how do we define
parking?" Romzek said. "Is it a University-wide resource that everyone has access to, or is it something that people can opt out of based on their ability to pay?"
Following the University Council meeting, Jim Carothers, Senate Executive Committee chair, said there would be a special University Senate session on April 20 to address course repetition and final examinations policies.
Last Friday, Senate received a petition signed by 59 faculty members calling for the review of the two amendments, which Council passed earlier this semester.
The course repetition policy would allow students to repeat courses in which they received a grade of D or F in order to improve grades. The final examinations policy would allow students with verifiable emergencies to make up the exams.
