Regents want to raise financing to near level of peer institutions

Among objectives of the proposal, which Stanley Koplik, Regents executive officer, called "Margin Of Excellence," was a plan to bring the Regents schools up to 95 percent of their faculty and peer institutions by fiscal year. The peer universities picked by the Regents staff were not identified.
The Regents current budget strategy takes more of an incremental approach, according to Koplik.
EMPORIA — The Kansas Board of Regents approved yesterday the concept of a large change in budget strategy proposed by staff members for universities under the Regents system.

Kopilik said the proposal would be further discussed by the Regents during other meetings this spring and summer. The presidents of Regents institutions have endorsed the proposal, Emporia State President Robert Glennen said.
The fiscal 1988 budget under consideration seeks $46 million from the Legislature but is expected to be reduced considerably. Some Regents members said financing to be sought from the state for the proposal was not realistic.
