Higher education reform bill to be proposed later this week
By Brandon Cople Kanson staff writer
After touring the state with its plan to restructure higher education in Kansas, the House Select Committee on Higher Education hopes to have the plan in bill form by Friday.
In bill form, the plan likely will designate specific state spending for faculty salary increases in the next four years and will serve as the starting point for legislative work on the Board of Regents budget.
The committee presented the plan and took

questions from about 80 people at Nichols Hall on West Campus Friday. Most of the questions expressed skepticism about abolishing the Regents and about financial commitments.
"I'm not sure the nervousness about changing administrative structure was allayed here," said Provost David Shulenburger.
The plan would replace the Board of Regents with a Council on Higher Education to govern the state's universities and coordinate activity among universities, community colleges and vocational-technical schools.
Committee member Rep. Ed McKechnie, D-Pittsburg, said Sunday the plan would not bring significant change in university governance.
Shulenburger said the University needs $26 million to bring faculty salaries to peer levels, and he didn't see anything in the plan specifying faculty salary increases.
The plan contains $80 million to be disbursed throughout five years among the state's post-secondary institutions. None of that money is earmarked for facultv salaries.
McKeachie said the committee heard concerns about faculty salaries.
"One of the things we will probably do this week is clarify the faculty salary money," he said. "We'll put in a provision that has specific spending
for that purpose."
Shulenburger and Student Body President Scott Sullivan will testify before the subcommittee this week.

recommendations, including technology funding,rather than the governance reform budget.
Mock trial moves to nationals
Kansan staff report
The University of Kansas first mock-trial team will compete in the national mock trial competition after finishing third in the regional tournament.
The regionalists for the American Mock Trial Association were held last Friday and Saturday at Vail College in Kansas City, Mo. The KU team finished third behind Central College, Pella, Iowa and Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa. The KU team also won two best witness awards and two best attorney awards.
The members of the KU team are Kristen Baker, Miami, Okla., senior; Dawn Blow, Wichita sophomore; Erika Nutt, Wichita junior; Stefan Quick, St. Louis sophomore; Melissa Quigley, Edina, Minn., senior; and Kate Wallace, Overland Park, sophomore.
"It's all new to us, and everyone is very excited about it," Baker said. "Everybody on the team is very committed."
Baker, who received a best witness award, said mock trials were a great chance to experience being a lawyer.
The competition this weekend started with 290 teams from 177 schools. The national competition is April3-5 in Des Moines, Iowa.
