Although the outcome of KU's budgetary requests to the Legislature directly affects faculty and students, many think their needs are not being well represented.
In a move to get faculty members and students involved in the development of the University budget, the University Senate Executive Committee decided to form a task force that would give a student-faculty perspective on the financing needs of the University.
After considerable debate Friday, SenEx voted 4-3 to form a task force that would work with the administration and develop a comprehensive financing assessment of the University.
The aim of the task force will be to
Greg Hughes, student member of SenEx, said that the task force was a good idea because it would allow faculty members and students to give proactive input into the University's budget requests.
show through the assessment the limitations that current financing levels place on teaching and researching efforts at KU.
Frances Ingemann, presiding officer of SenEx, said that she saw a need to have people not in the administration articulate the needs of the University.
But Betty Banks, associate professor of classics, said that there was no need for a task force when it was the administration to represent faculty and student needs.
said. "One would assume that the administration would be asking faculty for input. Another task force with a murky function won't do."
Tom Beisecker, head of SenEx, who drafted the proposal, said that a public presentation of University financing peeds was important.
After speaking with alumni, Beiecker said he realized that they did not have a good sense of what was needed on campus.
"One of the things we hear consistently is that our supplies and equipment budget is at 60 percent of our peers," he said. "There are times that it is not getting our current."
In other business, SenEx voted unanimously to form a task force to look into the problems that nontraditional students face on campus.

PROBING CREATION TESTING THE BIG BANG
Monday, April 6,1992 8 p.m. Woodruff Auditorium, Kansas Union
In the last few decades, astrophysicists have been able to make and test predictions based upon the idea that the universe evolved from a small, hot, dense fireball in the first few minutes of its existence. This public lecture will focus on the "Big Bang" theory and its links between the largest and smallest objects in the universe.
Sponsored by the Kenneth Spenser Memorial Lecture Series.
