The remaining 20 percent is paid by funds from the department for which the student works. 1503 West 23rd Street MORE OF WHAT YOU GO OUT FOR. Presents McCurdy said KU discovered last October that 63 students who qualified for work study were employed by KU on the University payroll, and were not paid by KU. About 70% of students about £7,000 KU still pays the salaries of 29 students eligible for work study funds. Rent it. Call the Kansan. Call 864-4358. Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said the students remained on the University payroll because he was a student and some departmental students and some departments of the University. "We aren't sure at this point how much the 29 students still on the University payroll cost," she said. "It's not known, because we have not reviewed each student each week that work has been October." MCCURDY SAID it was up to the students to tell their employers about the work study program. She said the office of financial aid should contact the students or their enployers. "This is an extremely hard program to administer," Rogers said. "We are continually checking the computer records of payroll employees to see if any names of those students who have qualified for work study appear on it. But to correct the errors, we will take the copious amount of work study students and University departments." Students are chosen for work study on the basis of financial need. "THERE IS sometimes a two to four week delay between the time a student applies and the time a student is notified if he can get work study," Rogers said. "This discourages some students from working on the work study program. But, for the most part, it is just students not notifying their teachers that they have qualified for work study funds." Rogers said that when students did not notify their employers that they were on work study, it could cost another student a job. "If a student were being paid on the work study program, it would save the employer 80 percent of the student's salary." Rogers said. "If an employee would be able to hire more employees." Rogers said this also wasted work study funds. "If a student who qualifies for work study indicates to us that he wants to work, we reserve funds for him," he said. "So if he never works, or if he doesn't tell an employer that he is on work study, we can't reuse the funds set aside for him." Rogers said that even though more money was allocated than was available, waste still occurred because some students never paid for their work or financial aid of their decisions not to work.
