Hemenway urges funding outlines reform categories
Chancellor Robert Hemenway told the House Education Budget Committee yesterday that reductions and unfunded costs are hurting the University of Kansas.
In fiscal year 2003, the University lost $18.8 million, or 8 percent of its budget, to these reductions and unfunded costs, he said.
Hemenway outlined five categories for reform: purchasing, financial management, facilities management, printing and surplus property. He also urged the governor and the legislature to maintain current levels of state funding and avoid further budget cuts; provide a 6 percent operation grant increase for state universities, community colleges and technical schools; and fully fund the third year of faculty salary increases promised under previous state legislation.
"Every legislative session, the chancellor gives a presentation to certain committees in the House and Senate," said Lynn Bretz, University Relations director. "He's doing everything he can to advocate maintaining funding for KU."

Board of Regents member gives $1 million to university
Board of Regents member William R. Docking and his wife, Judy, have committed a $1 million gift to the University of Kansas.
The gift to the Kansas University Endowment Association will be used in several functions. Half the gift will support the William and Judy Docking
Teaching Professorship Fund for the School of Business. Deepak Datta, professor of strategic management, has received the professorship.
Of the remaining money, $400,000 will go to the William and Judy Docking Law Scholarship by fall of 2005. The remaining $100,000 will go to a fund in the couple's name that provides unrestricted support to the University. Docking received a law degree and an MBA from the University in 1977.
The Kansas University Endowment Association is thrilled about the Dockings' gift and what it will do for the University, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
"The teaching professorship will reward professors for research," Scarfe said. "The additional law scholarship will help in attracting and retaining top law students to the law schools."
