She also said that it was unfair that some groups such as Associated Students of Kansas could be allotted travel money but that the Black Student Union could not.
Robin McClellan, Student Senate executive committee chairman, said that ASK was a revenue code allocation and therefore was financed differently than Black Student Union.

Classified representatives would submit their recommendations for chancellor to the search committee after meeting with the finalists, O'Neill said.
