At Wednesday's Board of Regents meeting, members heard the proposed amendment on KSA 76-742, the statute that dictates that a student body referendum is required if a University administration wants to increase student tuition or fees to pay for a new building.
The amendment would remove the requirement for a referendum and only require administrators to only "consult" student government leadership.

ran out. Kaitlyn Klein, the presenter of the bill and a senior from Bellevue, Neb., said it was disheartening that the debate ended before all those wanting to speak had the chance.
"I think that the concerns that were raised throughout, were definitely valid and they were things that needed to be discussed, but I was disappointed that the debate was cut short," Klein said.
The bill eventually passed with an amendment that removed the $330 dollars designated for the Jaybowl rental as well as adjusting the fee to provide a sign for the event.
Senators also debated the funding for the University's Mock Trial team, which requested more funding for travel expenses because the team has more than tripled its membership this year.
They requested additional funding to account for the additional members. Currently, students with the mock trial team do not pay for travel expenses because

Ye wasn't so sure about Lawrence until he arrived. He spoke with his high school advisor in China about university options abroad who helped him determine the University would be a good fit. His English proficiency score met KU requirements for admission, and Ye said his parents liked the idea of a small town in Kansas instead of a big American city. Now he said he is happy to be learning about Kansas firsthand.
