Report won't affect KU aid policy
By LESLIE GUILD
Staff Reporter
Although a report from the Carnegie Council in Washington, D.C. concluded this week that students who receive financial aid and have no work experience at Rogers, director of the office of financial aid, said yesterday that the University of Kansas would not require students to get a job.
"We haven't really formally discussed such an idea," Rogers said. "But we don't have any plans to change our awarding system."

Rogers said he thought requiring students who received financial aid to be employed would be "a program that could not be administered."
"It would probably result in students
Rogers said, though, that the office of financial aid planned to improve its work style.
getting jobs and quitting them after they had received their financial award from our employer.
Work study is a federally funded program to employ, on a part-time basis, students from colleges and universities.
"We are going to push to get those qualified for work study to make a firm commitment that they intend to work." Rogers said.
Rogers said that in the past, students had signed up for work study and then decided not to work. Money was set aside for them but because the students did not inform the office that they were not working, the money was not used.
Rogers said although the council had suggested that students be employed, not all students were able to work and continue their studies.
The office also had problems getting students who signed up for work study to tell their employers they were eligible to be paid with work study funds, he said.
"There have been tests done on this," he said, "And some show that people who persist in school do so because of their loyalty to a job. But for others, such as those in graduate programs, all their time is needed for their studies."
Rogers said surveys also indicated that working on campus, as through the work study program, was important to students.
"It gives them a feeling of belonging to the institution," he said.
The report by the council said the government should adopt a schedule by which awards would be made. It suggested awards be made to freshmen and sophomores who contributed $600 to their annual college expenses. Juniors and seniors, Carnegie said, should contribute about $1,000.
Although Congress is expected to review and revise the federal student aid structure this legislative session, Rogers said he did not expect changes.
"We aren't expecting any federal programs to undergo major changes in this session of Congress," he said. "It shouldn't affect us."
