KU, Haskell ponder exchange program
Task force hopes plan will improve relations
The University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University have joined hands again to increase relations between the two universities.
The task force was formed in 1992 and consisted of five faculty members from each university, Combest said. It meets two or three times a semester to discuss ways to improve communication between the two institutions.
By Tara Trenary Kansan staff writer
Combest said that by spring semester, members of the task force were hopeful to form an active KU-Haskell student exchange program.
"We have formalized a relationship that's existed for a while," said Hannes Combest, education secretary to the president of Haskell and chair of the KU-Haskell Inter-Institutional Task Force.
She said that for many years there had been a committee between the institutions but that now there was a formal task force with more authority.
"This is not new," said Jeff Weinberg, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and member of the
The program would create a 48-credit-hour bank, where each university would identify specific classes that KU and Haskell students could take that were not offered at their home institution, Combest said. Spotss would be reserved in specific classes at each university for the exchange program, and students would receive credit for the class at their university.
If a student wanted to take a class offered at Haskell, they would contact the office of academic affairs, Weinberg said.
Susan Arkeketa, dean of instruction at Haskell and member of the task force, said that the student exchange program would promote a better understanding of both universities.
She said that Haskell students would have to receive special permission from the dean of instruction to join the exchange program.
Combes said that enrollment at the student's university would not change but that Haskell students would have to purchase books for KU classes, and KU students might have to pay the $35 rental fee for Haskell books.
"KU students will become aware of why Haskell is so unique, and vice versa," she said.
