KU staff to be cut by 8

KU administrators must decide next week where to cut eight positions from next year's KU payroll, Del Shankel, executive vice president.
Shankel told a meeting of the University Senate executive committee yesterday that six unclassified and two classified positions would have to be cut as a result of a decision made Saturday by a Kansas Legislature conference committee.
Classified positions are those defined by the state civil service and include secretaries and laborers. Unclassified positions include all faculty and most administrators whose jobs are not defined by the civil service.
However, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said that most of the cuts would be made by letting the positions of those professors and administrators leave.
THE CONFERENCE committee met last week to work out differences between the two houses on the budgets of the seven colleges.
The Senate had recommended paying for half the positions that the Regent's institutions would lose because of failing enrollments. The number of positions the Legislature pays for is based on the number of students enrolled.
Three Regents institutions would lose positions because of drops in enrollment or failures to reach the projected enrollment increase that had been budgeted. Kansas State University would lose 22 of its enrollment. State University would lose 16 because of enrollment decreases.
KU must trim eight positions from its payroll because actual enrolment figures did not meet the projected figures that were provided.
BOTH SHANKEL and Dykes minimized the committee's decision and said the cuts could be made by reallocating funds in
*Eight positions is a small amount when you look at the 1,000 unclassified and 2,000 classified positions KU has.* Dykes said that the amount of effort is up.
Shankel said some of KU's funds would have to be reallocated to till vacated positions that must be filled, while leaving vacant those in other positions.
Sankhalek said the only problem would be trying to make all the budget changes and turning in a final operating budget to the Board.
"It's not a big thing." Shankel said. "We just have to look at the options to figure out the adjustments."
However, some KU faculty members said they were concerned about the consequences of the decision for other schools, especially at Emporia State, where tenured faculty members will have to be cut.
Ambrose Saricks, professor of history and president of the Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said the decision would force Emporia State to cut the faculty with only a few months notice.
Saricks said that the Regents institutions followed AAUP guidelines which call for a year's notice before the termination of a doctorate.
The firing of the faculty on short notice sets a dangerous precedent, he said.
Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum instruction and chairman of SenEx, agreed with Saricks.
"that the tenured faculty will not have been given timely notice is most regrettable," Swartt said, "the implications and the consequences."
