Regents officer says schools lack funds
By PAM MILLER
Staff writer
TOPEKA — Kansas Board of Regents schools are seriously underfinanced, and changes are needed to maintain the high quality of higher education, the Regents chairman said Friday.
Frank Becker, the chairman, spoke to the state Legislature's interim Special Committee on Financing of Regents Institutions. He said that compared with peer schools throughout the country, the Regents schools were inadequately financed
Peer schools are chosen by the Regents for their similarities to the state schools.
According to comparison studies of peer schools, state faculty members' salaries are 6.5 percent less than faculty members' salaries at peer universities, Becker said. He recommended an 8 percent salary increase for faculty members.
"If you don't give raises to employees, you are going to lose
them," he said. "We understand there's limited funding. We hope there's some reallocation."
receiver recommended to the committee that the enrollment method of financing be changed. The present methods cuts funds from any university that has a drop in enrollment. (216)
"Should the institution lose the funding if it tries to raise the quality of education for the students it does have?" Becker asked the committee.
He proposed that schools with declining enrollment not lose money because of their enrollment. The schools with increased enrollment would receive all the new financing they needed to reach the level of their peers.
Mark Tallman, director of legislative affairs and development for Associated Students of Kansas, spoke to the committee about the possible ways funds could be increased. He proposed solutions such as increased state support or student fees or internal reallocation of resources.
After the meeting, Tallman said tuition costs could be raised to increase financing. Students now pay 25 percent of the costs of their educations. That could be raised to 33 per cent, he said.
Becker also suggested that the best way to govern higher education in Kansas would be to put all the Regents schools, community colleges and Washburn University in Topeka under one board.
