Educators resist proposal
By JOHN BUZBEE
Staff writer
TOPEKA—A proposal to create a "super board" over all institutions of higher education in Kansas drew fire from education officials yesterday at a House committee meeting.
The state Board of Regents thinks the plan would be "potentially cumbersome and unnecessarily expensive." Stanley Kooplik, Regents' executive director, testified to a joint meeting of the House Education Committee and the House Economic Development Committee.

Connie Hubbell, legislative chairman of the state Board of Education, said the present system was more effective and effective than the plan would be.
But, W. Merle Hill, executive director of the Kansas Association of Community Colleges, supported
creating a community college board equal to the Regents.
However, his organization opposes creating a board the w would be ruled
Representatives from the Kansas Vocational Association and the Kansas Area Vocational Technical Schools also spoke against the bill.
The bill would establish two boards. One board would govern state community colleges and vocational/technical schools, which are now controlled by the state Board of Education.
The other board would run state universities, KTI and Washburn University in Topeka
The Regents would then govern both boards
Washburn supports the plan as a first step toward its getting into the Rogents' 'system', said David Moni. Washburn vice president of planning.
governed by the Regents, Monical said.
Washburn's eventual goal is to be
The bill would consolidate present state control over Washburn, but would not increase the state's control or financing.
Kopik said a suggestion by House Speaker Jim Braden, R-Clay Center, might work. Braden had suggested that the present Regents divide into two committees to govern state community colleges.
"With nine members, I think you could do the job very well," Koplik said.
State Rep. Phil Kline, R-Overland Park, presented Braden's suggestion at the meeting.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, strongly supports coordinating higher education in Kansas. He said that Braden's suggestion might work.
"The concept is so important that the details are of little consequence" here.
