State to clarify legislation intended to expand Board of Regents' role
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - A bill addressing lingering questions from the state's 1999 reorganization of the higher education system won tentative Senate approval yesterday.
The measure, advanced on a voice vote, defines the Board of Regents' powers in overseeing universities, community colleges and technical schools — and in allocating money to them.
The 1999 law shifted con
trol of community colleges and technical schools from the State Board of Education to the Board of Regents. Critics had said the old system was fragmented and led to duplication of programs.
The reorganization law was supposed to promote efficiency and accountability by having the Regents set goals for individual institutions, then allocate funds based on how well those goals are met.
Some confusion arose as
This year's bill clarifies the Regents' role in monitoring whether institutions meet their goals.
parts of the reorganization were put in place, however.
Under the measure, each institution would sign an agreement with the Regents outlining specific goals, such as increasing graduation rates, to which money would be tied.
Mary Prewitt, general counsel for the Regents, said if the bill passed, "We don't anticipate any changes for quite awhile."
Senate Education Committee Chairman Dwayne Umbarger, R-Thayer, said the bill also represented a compromise between the Regents and Washburn University of Topeka.
Officials at Washburn — which receives Kansas tax dollars but isn't a state university
worried about the Regents having too much control over its operations.

CAMPUS Senate decides not to fund Asian student group
Student Senate failed a bill last night funding start-up costs for the Asian Brotherhood Association.
In other business:
A referendum was added to next week's election ballot for Newspaper Readership Program funding. The referendum changes the program fee from $6.50 to $5 per student.
The bill would have provided $159 for printing and mailing the organization's promotional packets. The association intends to establish a KU chapter of the Lambda Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Inc., an Asian fraternity. Senate failed the bill because the fraternity is a non-inclusive student group.

- Senate appointed off-campus senator Matt Dwyer to the ad hoc committee on tuition. Dwyer replaced Matt Steppe, who was not enrolled as a student.
STATE
'Choose Life' plates approved by House
TOPEKA—Abortion opponents saw four of their bills win House approval yesterday, with three headed to the Senate.
The fourth bill, allowing the state to issue "Choose Life" license plates, goes to Gov. Bill Graves. The Senate has already passed a measure identical to the one that cleared the House on a 64-59 vote.
By a 79-44 vote, the House passed a measure requiring the secretary of health and environment to establish minimum health and staffing standards for abortion clinics.
Another bill, approved 77-46, amends a 1992 law requiring doctors to notify a parent or guardian when a minor seeks an abortion. The bill specifies that the notice be given in person or by certified mail.
Also approved on a 73-50 vote was a bill making it a crime to injure or kill a fetus, except for an abortion.
Native Americans look to preserve casino revenue
Tribal leaders shouldn't become too dependent on the money that casinos generate because they might not be around forever, the chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission said.
"As states become desperate for revenue, many are likely to turn to expanded forms of gambling. That's sure to hurt the tribal casinos," Monte Deer, a former Sedgwick County District Court judge, said yesterday at a conference on the future of Indian gaming.
