KU plans employee fine policy
KU administrators are working on a "fair and cautious procedure" for garnishing or withholding employee salaries in an effort to collect thousands of dollars in delinquent fines, a KU administrator said Saturday.
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said that the proposed policy should be ready for implementation by spring semester 1982.
Last year, delinquent fines totaled $88,000, according to the University's business office. Most of the fines were parking and library charges.
Withholding paychecks has been a sensitive topic since the Kansas Board of Regents asked the state Legislature to authorize the proposal in 1979. A proposal was authorized in 1980 that gave the Regents the legal right to push for the University's implementation of the plan.
UNTIL NOW, the University had not way to ensure the payment of fines levied against a faculty member. However, students can have their transcripts or enrollment materials held until fines are paid.
Under the plan, an employee who is delinquent in paying a fine has 15 days to contest it before a designated hearing officer. Otherwise, the employee waives his right to a hearing and the paycheck may be withheld.
If a complaint is filled but is found invalid, ample time will be supplied to allow the employee to seek a loan to make up for lost wages.
The proposed policy brought mixed reactions from KU faculty.
Tim Miller, lecturer in religious
studies, said he believed that it must were subject to fines, faculty members should be subject to them also. If fines are to be imposed, there should be a means of collecting, although garnishment may be somewhat harsh.
"Generally, there shouldn't be a privileged class at any university," he
Miller said that the policy would not
occur because he tried to avoid
incurring fees.
JIM MIELKE, associate professor of anthropology, said that garrisonment or withholding a check on only one offense would be harsh.
"It bolts down to the magnitude of the problem," he said. "I think it's fair in the extreme cases where someone is abusing a privilege."
Mielle pointed out that the faculty was expected to pay for parking, whereas in non-academic situations, parking was free.
Mielle once came to campus to prepare a lecture at 10:30 p.m. He parked in the small parking lot behind Danforth Chapel and got a ticket. A security guard told him that the lot is never for public use, even after regular campus hours.
Carl Leban, associate professor of interdisciplinary studies, is concerned about the constitutionality of the policy. Garnishment of wages outside the University must go through the court system. He said that an administrator had no right to step in and take wages without due process of law.
"I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I just hope it's legal." Leban said.
A 46-year-old Kansas City, Mo.

The runaway boat continued to speed uncontrollably in the marina's cave until two men capsized it, Crick said.
The manager of the Perry Marina said the boating accident was the first to occur at the marina cove in 11 years.
The boat then run in small circles, and finally came back to run over both the Johnsons, Crick said. Neither of the Ootons were hit.
