Proposed cuts jeopardize classes
By ALISON YOUNG
Kansas' bleak economic situation has hit home for KU students, hundreds of whom were turned away from full classes for next semester
The University's budget, which already was strained by a record fall enrollment, faces more tightening because of Governor-elect Mike Hayden's proposed 3.8 percent budget cuts for all state agencies. KU officials said recently.
sure agencies. We said last week that about 100 sections, in which students pre-enrolled, could be canceled because of proposed budget cuts.
Class offerings are so limited that the University may send advisory letters to students who have been admitted for the spring semester and plan to
enroll next month, officials said.
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said he didn't want students to pack up and move to Kansas if the courses they were expecting weren't available.
According to statistics generated by the enrollment center Nov. 26, after main enrollment was completed, several basic classes turned away hundreds of students.
The statistics show the number of students who tried to enroll in a course but couldn't because it was full. These figures may be inflated because a single student could have been turned away from several choices in the same department.
According to statistics:
Western Civilization 104 enrolled 678 students,
but turned away 399.
■ Communications 150 enrolled 753 students, but turned away 837; COMS 130 enrolled 183 students, but turned away 256.
Economics 104 enrolled 303 students, but turned away 183.
■ Math 115 enrolled 830 students, but turned away 90; MATH 121 enrolled 188, but denied 23; and MATH 122 enrolled 382, but denied 51.
■ Five of the seven liberal arts required 200-level English courses were closed, turning away a total of 758 students, including 26 juniors and one senior.
Political Science 110 enrolled 501 students, but denied 71.
