Criticism over work-study program concerns some KU administrators
By ROGER COREY
Staff writer
KU administrators are concerned about the state Legislature's disapproval of the way finances in the University of Kansas' work-study program are being handled.
The Legislature said Tuesday that several universities in the state, including KU, had not used effective technology to their state work-study programs.
For fiscal year 1987, the University received $154,210 and returned $28,000 of that to comply with Gov. Mike Hayden's budget cuts. The House Appropriations Committee cut an additional $30,000 earlier this spring.
Those cuts left the University with $96,210 of the original sum for the work-study program.
"I don't understand where they get those statistics," said Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid. "We have a large number of local employers who would join the program if we had money for them."
Rogers said the University still had money from the 1986 work-study program because under the original plan it was to be distributed on a need basis.
He said that money was still on the books for fiscal year 1987 but that the money had been planned for upcoming projects.
Because of the shortcomings, the Legislature has proposed a bill that would change the way state work-study programs are financed.
"Some of the other universities
have been giving the money out on a no-need basis." Rogers said.
State universities currently receive money from the state and are responsible for dispersing those funds in work-study programs. Under the reorganization plan, the representatives would be responsible for evaluating state programs and determining where the money was needed most.
Ted Ayers, Regents general counsel, said the intent of the bill was to give uniformity to the state work-study program.
