Senate votes to keep fee payment option
By Stacy Morford
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate voted last night to support continuation of an option that allows students to pay a $100 deposit to hold their classes until fees can be paid in full.
Senate representatives will join Senate Executive Committee representatives to form a student coalition of support for the deposit and deferred fee payment option at the University Council meeting tonight.
Senate also passed five bills during the semester's first meeting last night
"That Senate and SenEx both support this shows that the student body strongly favors the deposit," said Jeff Thompson, engineering senator.
When KU officials announced in January that fees would be paid by mail, a $100 deposit option to defer fee payment was implemented to soften the transition. Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the option was clearly
temporary and was not expected to continue into Fall 1993.
"The primary reason the deposit was added was to provide adequate notification to students," she said. "We knew at the time that it would be difficult to retract it."
Other bills passed by Senate included appropriating $2,750 to pay an administrative assistant for the graduate student council, $229 to start a KU homeless coalition, $410.20 to begin a student veterans organization and $304 to fund Best Buddies, an organization that pairs mentally handicapped youths with KU students.
Mullens said that full participation in mail-in fees would allow the administration to fill classes and add drop sections as enrollment dictated. It also would benefit students by shortening Hawk Week.
Thompson said that only 4,200 students used the deposit option this fall. More than 20,000 students sent their fees in early.
The reservation requirement and limited service hours violate Americans with Disabilities Act regulations which prohibit limiting services for disabled persons. Bannister said the cab company resubmitted the proposal on Sept. 3 with those items that prohibited disabled persons removed and the item concerning the assistance fee reworded.
Bennett said the phrasing about the assistance fee was changed because it did not accurately reflect what the company was attempting to do.
ager, said the cab company's original rate proposal included provisions for a $1.50 assistance fee for wheelchair passengers. That Aug. 12 proposal also stated that disabled passengers using the company's lift van would have to reserve the van 48 hours in advance, and the van would operated only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cab rates change starting Saturday
