After spring break some students had a piece of mail from the University of Kansas waiting for them.
About 2,000 copies of a student interest survey were sent to students to get their response to 20 questions about men's basketball and football at KU. Surveys were also sent to 1,000 faculty and staff members before spring break.
Spring Grades The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation commissioned the Office of Institutional Research and Planning to assist in compiling the questionnaire.
Questionnaire
Deb Teeter, director of IRP, said response rates varied depending on the topic of the survey.

Other questions asked for opinions on increasing student fees to defer or pay the price for a season football
ticket and on the sale of beer in the stadium

serve KU students, faculty and staff.
"We're interested in getting the students into the stadium," Redwood said.
THE QUESTIONS WERE designed to indicate patterns in ticket purchasing, interest and reasons for attending football and basketball games. Attendance at football games has dropped in the past 15 years and the board wanted to know why, Redwood said.
"The idea for the survey originated in the finance committee, and we decided to expand it. It will give the University a chance to comment on the things we have to do as a board," he said.
