KU to begin self-examination before NCAA's check next fall
By Jamie Munn Kansan staff writer
KU will be giving itself an athletic self-exam this spring before the NCAA makes its own check up later this fall.
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, will spearhead a steering committee that will ensure that the University is operating within all of the NCAA's regulations.
This week's hearing, the first of two, will be an informal informational session where the four subcommittees of the University review will explain their fields of study. The information found by the study's four subcommittees will be examined at a hearing on April 15.
Ambler said the University of Kansas should finish its study on
July 1. Aftersome revision, Chancellor Gene Budig will present the report to the NCAA in August. He said that he and athletic director Bob Frederick expected a clean bill of health.
"There's a general feeling with Bob Frederick that the program has been operated with a lot of integrity," Ambler said.
However, the self study is a chance to correct any problems found at KU before the NCAA conducts its own study in November, Ambler said.
In Spring 1995, the University will have a chance to respond to the NCAA's ruling on KU whatever the outcome.
“It’s rather consequential for us if we were not to qualify,” Amber said. For example, the University could lose its eligibility for the Final Four
basketball tournament or football bowl games, he said.
The four subcommittees will be taking testimonies and questions from students, student athletes, faculty, staff and the Lawrence community at this week's hearing.
"The NCAA has stressed that all segments of the University community be involved." Ambler said.
He also said he wanted to invite all of the University's governance groups to the hearings. He said that he thought student organizations, especially those supporting women and minorities, would be interested.
Don Green, distinguished professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said his committee was still in the data-gathering stages, but he said he didn't see too many problems in store for KU.
Green said he expected concern to be raised about entering credentials for student athletes compared to the University at large. Graduation rates for student athletes compared to KU students as a whole probably also will be a focus of his committee.
Deborah Teeter, director of institutional research and planning, said her committee also was developing its research.
"We don't know what problems to anticipate," Teeter said. "But personally I'm very impressed with the good practices and management."
Teeter said the department had specific accountability rules that had been well-documented so far.
"I'm impressed with the self study they did five years ago and the revisions made then," she said.
Court battle may determine role of gender in education
The Associated Press
ROANOKE, Va. — The issue of whether men and women learn differently is on trial as the Virginia Military Institute struggles to remain all-male. It wants a separate, but different military college for women set up at a former finishing school.
The Justice Department has sued VMI, saying the exclusion of women at the state-supported school is discriminatory. An appeals court agreed, but gave the state the option of setting up a similar program for women.
The Justice Department returned to court Wednesday to argue that The Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership, proposed for the all-female Mary Baldwin College, is based on gender stereotypes. It wants U.S. District Judge Jackson Kiser to force VMI to admit women.
The V-WIL program would exclude the 24-hour military atmosphere at the 155-year-old men's school. There would be no Spartan barracks with
our privacy and no boot camp indentation.
Women would be required to participate in the Reserve Officer Training Corps, but after their freshman year, they would play tennis, golf and racquetball, while VMI cadets participate in boxing, football and karate.
The V-WIL program would not require women to wear uniforms at all times, as required of the VMI cadets.
VMI's witnesses have said women would develop as better leaders in civilian and military life without the military atmosphere and "adversative model" of education. A program for women identical to VMI would fail for lack of interest, they said.
But Capt. Tamara Frezzel, a U.S. Military Academy graduate who commanded forces during the Gulf War, testified that she would have had no interest in attending V-WIL, even though it is in her native Virginia. The elements of VMI that are excluded "are what the military is all about," she said.
THE END
Is there any significance to the greater frequency of natural disasters that have occurred worldwide over the last several years?
Is it a sign? For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; these are the beginnings of sorrows. -Mark 13:8
