When the Board of Regents recommended an 11.3 percent budget increase, excluding self-funding, for the University of Kansas for fiscal year 1986 recently, the Regents were giving some very encouraging signs to KU.
"The Regents have shown their support. I think we have a good climate for the University." Keith Nitcher, director of business affairs, said recently. "Generally, we have to be pleased with the evaluation."
Self-funding is money that the University will generate from the tuition increase approved last month by the Regents.
THE TUTTION increase, effective fiscal 1986, will offset the elimination of academic student fees and restricted fees.
Base budget increases, if approved by Gov. John Carlin and the Kansas Legislature, would increase the salaries for unclassified employees, including graduate teaching assistants, by 7 percent.
unclassified employees include faculty and administrators, but not all unclassified employees will receive a salary increase.
In a recent memo to faculty and staff, Chancellor Gene A. Budig, said that the money from the increase would be pooled and awarded to employees on a merit basis.
Salary increases for classified employees are determined by the governor and the Department of Administration, and have not yet closed.

ouget increase, and also from a three-year systemwide plan recommended by the Regents to increase tuition fee waivers to 100 percent by fiscal 1988.
Five years ago the Legislature approved a 60 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants instead of the requested 100 percent fee waiver.
Increases were also recommended for library acquisitions, $270,000; instructional equipment, $250,000; student wage budget base, $43,000; matching funds to support private and federal equipment awards, $200,000; preventive maintenance program, $110,000; and instrumentation lab and support for science labs, $154.00.
Under the recommended plan the fee waiver would increase to 75 percent in fiscal 1886, 90 percent in

fiscal 1987 and 100 percent in fiscal 1988.
The amount of graduate teaching assistant stipends recommended for fiscal 1986 comes to $800,000. The stipends are distributed according to the budgets of individual departments,
MARTIN JONES, associate director of business affairs, said that KU was lacking in graduate teaching assistant benefits compared to other schools.
An increase of 1 percent in fringe benefits has been recommended for unclassified personnel. Currently, 5 percent of unclassified personnel's salary is withheld for a retirement fund, to which the state also contributes an additional 5 percent.
This is the lowest percent that a state gives to unclassified personnel for retirement, Jones said. The recommended increase shows an effort to improve the competitive position of retirement.
WITH $415,000 recommended for academic computing in systemwide recommendations, a computer hook-up will link KU and Kansas State University. The new microwave system will improve both schools' computer science programs.
