University Daily Kansan / Thursday, March 19, 1992 5 Bill could increase legal services for students By Jay Williams Kansanstaffwriter A bill to increase the legal services available to students passed the Student Senate Student Rights Committee last night. The bill, if passed by the full Senate at its meeting next Wednesday, would allow Legal Services for Students to advise students on a limited basis about matters between students and the University. Student Senate both finances the service and devises the policies under which it operates. Legal Services for Students current- cannot advise students in legal matters involving the University. John Robertson, graduate senator and co-author of the bill, said the change in policy would not reduce the services currently provided or increase the staff or budget of Legal Services for Students. Senate allotted $186,781 to the service, which employs three full-time attorneys, five law student interns, a secretary and an assistant, for the fiscal year. Robertson said the proposed changes would give students a voice with which to air grievances against the University. "We are getting a little bit of help to those who get it," he said. The bill says that a staff member of the service may advise the student and attend meetings between the student and University representatives, provided that both parties involved agree. However, it also says that the staff members in attendance may neither participate in the meeting nor represent a student during the meeting. Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said that allowing staff members to attend such meetings was important. "It is hard to advise somebody with out somebody being there," she said. Hardesty said research on the proposal began three years ago by the LegalServices Advisory Board, which oversees the operation of the service. James LaSalle, law school senator and member of the advisory board, said the board researched the policies regarding student legal services of all Big Eight schools and the University's peer institutions. "Some schools not only advised, but represented students in actions against the University," he said. "That created bad feelings between the school and the representatives." University appoints coordinator to link campuses Bv Jenny Martin Kansanstaffwriter The KU administration is making efforts to link the Regents Center in Overland Park to the Lawrence campus by appointing a person to coordinate programs at the center with department deans in Lawrence. Robert Senecal, dean of continuing education, began his post on Monday as coordinator of the Regents Center. He said the University wanted to provide more direct contact for the center students with the Lawrence campus. He will work closely with KU deans and program directors to strengthen programs at the center, said Linda Dunn, president of Kansas City for University Relations. "High on the agenda is the review of continuing programs with an eye toward possible enhancements." Brinkman said. "Given sufficient resources, I believe the center can serve the educational needs of Kansas City as well as represent the unique teaching and research interest of the Del Brinkman, vice cancellor for academic affairs, said, "Rather than the Regents Center being a separate enclave outside the Lawrence campus, we want to see an extension of the Lawrence programs." Lawrence campus." Within a year, the Regents Center will move from the old elementary schoolbuilding in Overland Park that it has occupied since 1975 to a new $6 million facility at 127th Street and Quivira Road in Overland Park.
