Regents make budget request
By Mark Siebert
Staff writer
TOPEKA — The Board of Regents made its plea for a $50.1 million increase in next year's budget to the House Ways and Means Committee, but probably won't get the full amount, the committee chairman said yesterday.
State Rep. Bill Bunten, R-Topeka,
and the committee chairman, said
the Legislature was looking at a
series of proposals and would have to
decide what could be increased.
"I would suggest there will be more funding." Bunten said. "The question is how much more funding."
Stanley Koplik, Regents executive officer, presented a budget request to the committee that includes a 5 percent tuition increase.
The increase is part of an annual tuition readjustment to keep the fee-
cost ratio at 25 percent, Kolpik said the Regents tried to maintain a tuition that required students to pay 25 percent of their educational costs.
"You'll find we're probably about right in relation to other states in the world," he said.
The Regents schools are the six state universities and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
The Regents request includes a 7 percent salary increase, a 7 percent operating expense increase, a 5 percent utilities increase and a 1 percent increase in the state's contribution to faculty retirement.
Gov. John Carlin's basic budget calls for about a $600,000 increase for the Regents in fiscal 1987 while his investment budget calls for about a $21.5 million increase.
The additional finances for the investment budget would come from a
"Understandably, the Board is not very satisfied with the basic budget from the governor," Koplik said.
proposed 1-cent sales tax increase,
designed to raise $190 million.
The governor's investment budget also calls for about a $6.1 million increase for individual requests by institutions. The University of Kansas would receive $851,156.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, and a committee member, said the committee would probably operate mainly from the governor's two budgets and from his recommendations.
Solbach said the investment budget was a great step forward for the state.
"We don't have the money at the state level without new revenue," he said.
*Solbach said the full House usually
adopted the Ways and Means Committee's budget suggestions.
The Regents also requested $2.5 million in supplemental funds for this year. The Regents submitted nine requests and the governor has recommended four of them, which are:
$25,000 to help recruit a new president at Kansas State University. Similar amounts were spent when KU searched for a new chancellor and Wichita State University searched for a new president.
$461,928 for hospital liability insurance for the University of Kansas Medical Center.
$150,625 for undergraduate medical student liability insurance at the Med Center.
$100,000 to restore retirement funds that were understated this year for unclassified employees at Wichita State.
