Times allegations, Tchaa said, but to determine whether athletes received the same academic recognition.
Tacha said her board had not met since the most story was published, but she did speculate that she may be the next one.
"We will probably look into the quality of academics that are available to the student athlete," she said. "We will be making certain that the institution is carrying out the various responsibilities it has regarding eligibility and certification."
The University's third step is to require that regular standards be followed in course selection, class requirements and evaluation for student athletes, the letter said.
"I have had several meetings over the past few weeks with administrators." Shankel said, "We felt there was some indication that the regular channels have not always been followed."
THE STATEMENT in Shankel's letter ensures that academic departments will continue to follow the correct procedure, as they do now. Robert Cahill executive vice chancellor, said.
The fourth step is to improve communication with prospective student athletes about the importance of the game.
The targeted improvement does not mean a communication problem exists, Tacha said.
The University's final step has been to ask deans of schools and their facilities to examine academic programs to ensure integrity, equality and availability for all students, the letter said.
"This will be a formal request I will be making to the deans of the schools about their academic
programs," Shankel said. "I think this is primarily a matter for the deeds of the colleges and schools to look into to determine whether students are equal and programs are available to all."
SHANKEL SAID that Bob Marcum, director of athletics, has agreed to co-sign the letter. But Shankel said he had decided to issue the letter with only his signature.
Marcum confirmed that he had agreed to sign the letter and said that academic departments should review academic practices. He said his department was investigating the Times allegations about Big Eight Conference rules violations.
"So far, we have not found any," he said. "We are all working very closely on that and I'm certain if there are any abuses, we will uncover them."
George Worth, Senate Executive Committee chairman, will also asked to sign the letter, but not the e-mail.
EVELYN SWARTZ, president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, expressed reservations about the meaning of the five steps.
Worth explained that the letter should have been issued by the Acting Chancellor.
"I'm all for it," Worth said. "How could anybody be against it?"
"I think we have to see what the specific implementation really means before we go any further," she said. "The important thing here is that athletics is not the tail that wags the dog."

"But if anyone can bring the charges, then you don't have anyone to hold responsible for the crime."

members and that the current regulations hold the Chancellor responsible for such action.
SHULENBURGER SAID he thought legislative confusion may have arisen because disciplinary procedures in the Regents schools were being compared with the Legislature's enforcement procedures, which were radically different.
"An individual member can file charges against any other member," he said. "Persis file, prosecute and judge each other. It may be dif- ficiated them to conceive the system in the University."
He said that the Legislature had a committee to hear charges against legislators.
He said that legislators viewed the tenure and related problems action as a failure to meet responsibilities and they felt the solution was to institute a new procedure.
Both Kauffman and Shulenburger said the best argument against the bills was to demonstrate the administrators' responsiveness to suspicions of staff and possible violations of faculty regulations.
Shulenburger said he thought that if the Legislature was made aware of the universities' actions in complaints about faculty, their fears might be reduced.
"If the University shows they're responsive, it the Regents show they're responsive, it may take the motivation behind the bills away," Shulenburger said.
KU Weather Service requested $1,234.84 to pay operating costs for two weather forecasting service machines. Last year they additional $43 budget hearings, and an additional $50 in the fall.
Non-traditional Student Organization requested $175.1. Last year they received $620.

CULTURAL COMMITTEE heard requests from Arab Student Organization, KU of Doha Dance
ArabStudent Organization requested $560. The football club requested $488 and the square dance club requested $432.
Academic Affairs heard requests from four groups.
They were:
* German Club, requesting $1,285.
- Gerhard Clin, requesting $300.
* Alpha Gamma Rho, a jewelry and metallmithing group, requesting $894.
* KU Biochemistry Club, requesting $300.
* KU Chemistry Club, requesting $275.
It also cut Alpha Gamma Rho's request by $104,28.8 the group requested to buy tools.
Psychology Club's request included $220 for advertising. The committee reduced this to $80.
Seven groups did not show up to present their research at the week. They will be recounted later this week.
FOLLOWING THE presentations, the committee voted to cut $475 for travel expenses from Canada.

List of finalists for chancellor to be released
The list of the five final candidates for the KU chancellorship will probably be sent to the Kansas Board of Regents by the beginning of March, 2013. Enide, KU executive secretary, said yesterday.
"The committee's work is essentially finished," he said.
"There are some more things that have to be done, but I expect the list will be sent by the beginning of next week." Von Ende, also a Chancellor Search Committee member, said.
Von Ende would not say whether the five candidates were already determined.
The new chancellor will probably be announced at the Regents regular board meeting this month, according to John Conard, Regents executive director.
Von Ende did not know if the chancellor-elect would be present at the March 20 Regents meeting.
"It all depends on the new chancellor's commitments at that time, I would imagine," he said. "The last president the Regents selected, Jim Appleberry at Pittsburgh State University, was there when they announced his selection. If it is if the new chancellor will be there this time."
