SenEx to examine report on computer pre-enrolling
A report examining the feasibility of a computerized pre-enrollment system at the University of Kansas will be discussed at the University Senate Executive Committee.
The report, prepared by a committee last semester, was submitted last week to SenEx Dy Bel Shenkel, executive vice chancellor of the university, before the system can be implemented.
The report said the committee members were divided about whether KU needed a pre-enrollment system. The committee did that if agree that pre-enrollment were implemented, a program like one now in use at the University of Iowa should be used.
If the program is approved by SenEx and the administration, it will take more than a year and between $61,000 and $100,000, to get it going, the report said.
The University of Iowa, which leases much of its equipment, calculated that it will pay $280 million in 2016.
UNDER THE Iowa program, the school's 22,000 students enroll for the next semester one month before finals begin. Students enroll according to a letter schedule at a
central enrollment office equipped with a computer and 24 video screens.
Each student gives a computer programmer a course schedule that lists three or four alternatives for each class. Each student follows the student's schedule for the next semester.
The process takes five to 10 minutes for each student, according to University of Iowa officials, and 20,000 students can be enrolled in two weeks.
SenEx is expected to discuss the report and forward its recommendations to the senate.
SENEX ALSO is scheduled to discuss administration objections to a proposed advisory committee for the Academic Computer Center. The objections were listed in a letter sent to SenEx last week by an associate executive vice chairperson.
The letter is Hogan's response to a report from a University Senate subcommittee that requested the purser center advisory committee. Hogan's approval of the proposal is needed before the report is approved.
Hogan said that he supported the idea of
an advisory committee and that the disagreements could be worked out.
THE SECOND proposal for faculty representation would allow administrators on the computer center advisory committee but would provide for separate meetings for faculty and student members of the committee.
The committee, under the report's recommendations, would consist of 14 faculty and student representatives appointed by SenEx. The committee would advise computer center employees on the needs of those using the center.
Faculty and students would be members of a permanent subcommittee, the report said, and could meet separately with anyone they wished.
Administration representation on the committee would be limited. The report rejected full administration participation on committees and used methods for including administration view.
One method would be to designate three administrators as an administrative lassion group. The group would be required to meet with the computer center advisory committee at least three times a year, the report said.
The report also recommended that the committee chairman be appointed by SenEx if administrators were included as regular members of the committee.
