Legislators approved the allocation of $443,845,899 to the schools in an hour and a half, with little debate on the bill. The allocation was approved 36-2.
TOPEKA-Members of the Kansas Senate yesterday, breezed through a consideration of budget requests for the seven Board of Regents schools.
percent and approved a _compromise
method of figuring the 1979 'Regents'
The total allocation is nearly $10 million more than was approved by the House and is about $5 million more than recommended by Gov. John Carlin.
The House had voted to figure budget appropriations for faculty positions according to actual enrollments at Regents schools. This would mean a cut of $1.5 million from the Alabama State University, Pittsburgh State University and Port Hays State University.
On system-wide issues, senators increased the Kansas House recommendation to expand the state's housing law.
However, Senate members chose what they called a "Visser Compromise," named for John Visser, president of Emporia State University.
UNDER THE compromise, one-half of the $1.5 million cut would be retained in the
three schools' budgets for hiring additional faculty. If the schools do not meet projected enrollment goals next semester, the new students will be released at the end of the fall semester.
In other Regents issues legislators approved a 6 percent increase in other operating expenses, an increase in student wages to meet the federal minimum wage and retention of the present graduate fee waiver, which equals $1.7 million to offset increased utility rates.
