KU IT site redesign improves navigation
MADDIE FARBER

KU IT is introducing a newly redesigned Kyou Portal this week. The redesign is an ongoing effort by the IT Department to improve access to online services for students and faculty, improve navigation, integrate current and new services and more. David Day, director of IT External Affairs, discussed what's about to happen:
KANSAN: Why was there a redesign?
DAY: Over the past year, KU IT has been working to re-design the myKU portal and make it a one-stop shop for accessing the many online services you depend on at the University of Kansas. This redesign is part of the overall initiative. And, this work will continue as we look for ways to integrate current services and new services as they're introduced.
DAY: KU IT has been implementing infrastructure changes within the portal, and this redesign leverages much of that work. The new design incorporates enhanced KU branding that is better aligned with KU websites that were developed in the CMS (Content Management System) as part of the University's Bold Aspirations IT initiatives.
KANSAN: Why now?
KANSAN: What will be new?
DAY: There will be a new login page, improved navigation and some of the content has been reorganized to streamline access. For students: Course & Grades and Blackboard were moved to the main screen. MySuccess was relocated under Academics.
KANSAN: Was there any student input?
questioned why they had to go different places to access all the online services at KU, such as Blackboard, Enroll & Pay, etc. KU Chief Information Officer Bob Lim meets regularly with student consultation groups, as well as with student body leaders, to get feedback on new services and changes to existing services that will benefit students.
DAY: The idea to redesign the myKU portal into a one-stop shop for accessing online services came from students, faculty and staff who
KANSAN: When was the latest redesign done?
DAY: We made some design change to the portal in August 2013, and in January we changed the name from Kyou portal to myKU portal, and changed the URL to myku. edu. As previously mentioned, the redesign is part of an overall on-going effort. KU IT is working to continue improving access to current online services, and as we introduce new services we will evaluate how they should be integrated into the portal.

Tetwiler stressed how athletic departments' revenues across the country are "skyrocketing" reducing the need for this fee.
Senate representatives, including Tetwiler, have questioned the necessity of the fee to Athletics' — a $93.6 million corporation — well being. The fee's original purpose coincided with federal enforcement of Title IX in 1979. It started at $1.50 a semester.
"I think the fee shows we support our student athletes," Jacquinot said. "The main point for me being up here is to stress I feel we need to keep a positive relationship between us and our student athletes and show that the student body supports them."
If Gray-Little does not veto the bill, Athletics will have to find an alternate way to sustain its current level of operation. This includes the possibility of raising the price of a voluntary $150 ticket package students can pay to attend basketball and football games.

The fee, officially known as the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee, helps keep travel equitable for those non-revenue sports. In 2013, Kansas Athletics spent $6,601,009 on total travel expenses.
"Our women's sports teams are going to be great," Tetwiler said. "Our Athletics Department is going to be great without this."
Of the four Big 12 schools that have a required student fee and an optional student ticket package, Kansas' cost of $150 is the cheapest by $100.

"Everything would be on the table," Marchiony said. "We would search in every way possible to raise the money."
Childress said that moving it back to committee would likely kill the proposed referendum and that many student senators like
