THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Tuition committee meets to recommend changes
University officials will attend group's spring meetings
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
The Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding met for the first time yesterday to begin examining possible changes to the tuition increase proposal.
"The most important things that came out of this meeting were the introductions of who's on the committee, what the committee will look at and the chancellor's guarantee that the committee's recommendations will be seriously considered," Gregory said.
Anna Gregory, communications director for Student Senate, said she thought the committee made a good start.
The committee was formed last month, and includes student and faculty members. It includes three members of Student Senate, three members of Faculty Senate, a member of Classified Senate and a member of the Unclassified Professional Staff Association.
The committee may add a faculty representative and a stu
dent representative from the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Provost David Shulenburger said he also would attend all of the committee's meetings.
Dallas Rakestraw, Student Senate chairman for the committee, said the goal of his participation on the committee was to reflect the needs and expectations of all members of the University community.
The Board of Regents has set a mid-March deadline for the University to submit a final proposal. Rakestraw said, which would mean the committee would have to give the University a proposal much earlier.
"I think we'll know the timeline at the next Regents meeting," Hemenway said.
But Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who attended the meeting, said he would work to extend the Regents' deadline to April or May.
That meeting is scheduled for Feb. 13 and 14 in Topeka.
The next Ad-Hoc committee meeting will be at 3 p.m. Monday at the Regents Room,230 Strong Hall.
