Joan Finney expressed her support for two higher educational bills: the Partnership for Excellence plan and the inclusion of Washburn University into the Board of Regents system. But Finney surprised some listeners by announcing that the Legislature should consider both the Partnership bill and the Washburn bill as a single package, saying it was both bills or nothing. Assistant professor of social welfare and State Rep. Forrest Swall, D-Lawrence, said he had hoped Finney would support the Partnership for Excellence on its own merits. Swall said he did not think Finney's dual proposal was good legislative policy. "They're two separate issues," Swall said. "It may be a good way to lose both of them. It may be a good way to get acceptance from both of them. But they should be debated separately." "Topeka representatives were not supportive of the state universities when Washburn was being rejected as a Regents school," Salisbury said. "This bill could give some buoyancy to people who don't care if Washburn After hearing Finney's speech, State Sen. Alisha Salisbury, R-Topeka, said she thought the strategy to link the two proposals may work best among state representatives. "Her view to tie the increased salaries while bringing in Washburn University into the Regents system is a reasonable strategy," said Ed Meyen, executive vice chancellor. Finney's intention to vet either part of the two education bills without passage of the other made political sense to some KU officials. is part of the Regents or not." Meyen said he did not expect Finney's decision to unite the two bills as one package would have any serious consequences for the Partnership for Excellence plan. Under the guidelines of Finney's proposal, legislators who had supported adding Washburn University to the Regents system may show more support than expected for the Partnership plan, Meyen said. "Clearly she's elevated the Partnership plan so anyone who has support for Washburn would want to support the Partnership," Meyen said. Along with providing a better package of education, John Shoemaker, student body president, said Finney might have wanted to ensure passage of both bills by presenting them as a single piece of legislation. For some professors, Finney's decision to include Washburn's entrance into the Regents may have come down to politics and could jeopardize both programs. "I'm not sure that there is deliberate attempt to link them as there is to make sure they both pass," Shoemaker said. "I hope they are not presented together in a formal package." Because the two parts of the Finney proposal would address distinct issues, the governor may have Dual Decision The Partnership for Excellence: ■ would increase out-of-state tuition by 13 percent and in-state tuition 5 to 9 percent at the six Regents institutions. ■ would increase faculty salaries at Regents schools by 6 to 9 percent. The Washumba University Plan: ■ would allow Washumba, a public institution since 1941, to become a Regents member by July 1, 1997. Source: Kansan staff reports grouped the bills together to ensure their passage, said T. P. Srinivasan, head of the Senate Executive Committee. "On their own merits, the issues are different," Srinivasan said. "But this is a political judgment. I certainly would not preempt Governor Finney's reason for tying the two together." Though each part of the Finney proposal may have problems passing through the Legislature individually, neither can be assured the votes by linking them together, said Felix Moos, professor of anthropology and president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors. "To tie them together makes it that much more difficult to pass either program," Moos said. "The issue of Washburn is a very complex one. If we don't have the funds for the Regents universities now, how can we afford another university?" In addition to KU, the Regents preside over Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University and Wichita State University. FREE BEDROOM!
