Regents vote to cut seven degrees
Program discontinued despite heated protest
By Jamie Munn Kansan staff writer
Despite complaints from state legislators and appeals to University Council, seven degree programs are likely to be eliminated at the Board of Regents meeting today in Topeka.
The master's degree in atmospheric science, the only one of its kind in the state, is among the degrees the University has decided to discontinue.
Other degree cuts include the bachelor of arts in comparative literature, bachelor of arts and bachelor of general studies in computer science, bachelor of arts in Italian, and the bachelor of arts and the bachelor of general science in atmospheric science.
Frank Sabatiin, a member of Regents, said he didn't think there would be any special considerations for the proposed eliminations.
"Basically we're relying on the University to weed out what they think should be integrated or dropped," he said.
Sabatini said he thought that the University's study, which had determined student interest in each program, had been complete. Keeping programs without any interest did not make much sense, he said.
"That's why we are asking them to consolidate and eliminate." Sahatiimi said.
David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the University's limited funds would focus on those programs central to the mission of the University.
"Had we ample funding, all of the programs we have discontinued would have been maintained and strengthened," he said.
However, Francis Prosser, associate chair of the department of physics and astronomy, said he still had hope, especially for the master's in atmospheric science.
"We would certainly like the Regents to reverse the decision on that program," Prosser said.
The cuts became effective Dec. 31, 1993. Although no new students will be enrolled in the discontinued programs, students currently pursuing these degrees will be allowed to complete their studies by Dec. 31, 1996.
Although some of the programs will be completely eliminated, others will be incorporated into other departments.
Bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in computer science will continue to be offered in the School of Engineering. Comparative literature classes will continue in the department of English, and Italian courses will be consolidated into the department of French and Italian.
Earlier in 1993, the Regents approved similar discontinuance recommendations presented by the University. The bachelor's degrees in geophysics, toxicology, recreation, history and philosophy of science and the doctorate program in visual arts education all were cut. No new students have been admitted in these programs since Dec. 31, 1993.
Student president supports Partnership program for KU
By David Stewart
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — While the battle of the 1965 state budget continues in the Legislature, one KU student leader made his views clear to a Kansas Senate subcommittee yesterday on the Partnership for Excellence proposal.
John Shoemaker, student body president, spoke briefly before the Senate Ways and Means Committee to express his support for the Partnership.
The three-year plan would raise faculty salaries at the six Board of Regents schools through increased state funds along with a proportional increase in the schools' tuitions.
While he acknowledged that no student liked increasing the cost of classes, Shoemaker said he thought the prevailing attitude among KU students favored the Partnership plan and its subsequent tuition increase.
"Tuition increases are in our own best interests," Shoemaker said to the committee. Shoemaker said the Partnership program would allow shared responsibility of faculty salary increases between
the students at the Regents schools and the state.
"With additional state participation, the students are prepared to shoulder in this additional responsibility." Shoemaker said.
State Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Shawnee, chair of the committee, said that he appreciated Shoemaker's comments but questioned whether the Partnership for Excellence plan allocated financial responsibility fairly.
When asked by Bogina whether he would object to a smaller increase in faculty salaries than the proposed 3 percent in 1995, Shoemaker replied he did not feel in the position to make this distinction.
"I don't want to get in the position as student leader of bickering with legislatures about the exact, amount of the increase," Shoemaker said.
After the committee adjourned Bogina said that deciding to finance projects such as the Partnership plan would require looking at the priorities of the education budget.
"We have just so much money to work with," Bogt. na said. "I think the Regents feel they submitted an offer that is considered a priority. But we're in no position to bargain."
