State Legislature to address student-related issues
The 1980 session of the Kansas Legislature, which convened this week in Topeka, will address several issues that have a direct effect on University of Kansas students.
Among those issues are:
- A proposed bill that would raise the minimum drinking age in Kansas to 21;
- An amendment to the Landlord-Tenant, Act, designed to force negligent landlords to comply with existing health and safety codes, and with their rental agreements;
- A bill raising tuition by $300 for foreign students:
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, relieving students of the payments they made on them.
- Proposed funding for non-student uses of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds available for scholarships will be increased by proposed bill increase in the number of schoolships available to students at state universities.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
- Proposed salary increases, to the $3.10 minimum wage, for students employed by the University;
- Although a bill to raise the drinking age has not yet been introduced, most observers are confident that the issue will be raised this session.
- A bill reducing the resiency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
ASK's Bob Bingaman said that almost every legislator he talked to this week wanted to know what ASK's position would be on such a bill.
The executive director of the Associated Students of Kansas, the state student lobby group, said yesterday that changing the drinking age would be a "very hot issue."
Bingham said he expected such a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when or where it would be presented. A bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in
If passed the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
The IA, with representatives from each member scool, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting members.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to resolve disputes with the landlord in agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Subbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
The amendment is expected to come
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $3.10 an hour as the Legislature follows Gov. Cuomo's recommendation to raise student salaries.
