SenEx disputes document giving Regents more university control
By Alexander Bloemhof
Faculty and student representatives yesterday criticized a document by the head of the Board of Regents that included the following:

The University Senate Executive Committee spent more than an hour yesterday drafting a response to the document, which was released Tuesday.
"The common theme remains a shift of control from the individual campuses to the Regents offices," said Tom Blevin.
Sampson's document focused on the responsibility of the Regents to effectively organize, manage and control the Regents universities.
He presented it at the Regents meeting last month and encouraged input from the individual universities.
SenEx last week identified five initiatives in Sampson's documents that were of particular concern:
- Substitute weak programs at universities with stronger ones.
Analyze class sizes and close or restrict small classes.
Withhold 0.5 percent of the universities' budgets and distribute that money on the basis of achievement as an incentive.
Mandate reallocation of at least 4 percent of the universities' budgets each year.
- Create the position of a chief financial officer for the Board of Regents.
Individual SenEx members during last week prepared responses to each of those five initiatives.
The first two points neglect the role small programs play at a university and the reasons they are small. ExFx said
"One should not only look at the size to decide whether a class should be discontinued or not," said Frances Ingemann, professor of linguistics.
Beisecker said an analysis of class sizes should not be done on a systemwide level, applying the same standards to all the Regents schools.
"Responsibility should remain where the curriculum is being taught and managed," he said.

Sampson's proposal to distribute money on the basis of achievement was criticized by SenEx members because they said it would result in competition among the schools and the definition of achievement would be up to the Regents.
SenEx objected to reallocating 4 percent of the universities' budget because the reallocation would be imposed by SenEx.
Ingemann said that the schools already reallocated money but that they were flexible as to how much money would be given to teachers.
"This is a figure that's mandated from the outside and that eventually may have negative results," Ingmann said.
The committee did not have enough time yesterday to draft a formal response.
But Ingemann, head of KU's Faculty Senate, said she would report the results of the discussion to the Council of Faculty Senate Presidents today and informally discuss individual regents at the Regents meeting tomorrow.
SenEx members were concerned that the position of a chief financial officer would centralize control of the company.
