SenEx plans schedule for fall, Margin of Excellence tops list
By Michael Shunk
Kansan staff writer
The Margin of Excellence plan, health insurance and University assessment will top the list of priorities for the 1988-89 University Senate Executive Committee.
"One thing that will be very important to governance is the Margin of Excellence plan," said Robert H. Jerry, SenEx chairman.
Jerry said that SenEx was an active support group for the Margin of Excellence plan. He said SenEx helped supply the administration information to help assess the adequacy of salaries and奖金 benefits.
"We are not a bargaining organization. We do not know, but we try to understand what is known."
Faculty and staff health insurance will be another important issue for this year's SenEx.
The health insurance package is
restrictive. Jerry said, SenExi
on the floor.
"One problem with the current health insurance package is that we don't have many options about how to spend our health insurance money," he said. "It is a problem for all state employees."
Sandra Wick, administrative assistant for SenEx, said, "Right now, everything is almost predetermined for the faculty."
Jerry said SenEx probably would be seeking a more flexible plan of compensation.
"The first question is whether we want that for our faculty and staff."
SenEx also will be dealing with the issue of academic assessment this year.
A committee has been formed at the University of Kansas to determine an effective method of appraising the educational work at KU.
The assessment committee will submit a draft of its findings to the Board of Regents in October. The final results are scheduled to be approved by the Regents in Janurary.
Wick said that the assessment issue could be controversial.
"It's tricky because it starts involving people's views of education," she said.
Also on the SenEx agenda is a seminar on fringe benefits for the
"It will be an informational seminar, for continuing faculty, on what their fringe benefits are and how to use them," Wick said.
faculty and staff.
One example of a fringe benefit is the ability of faculty and staff to use Robinson Center at certain hours of the day when the center is not open to students.
She said the seminar probably would be in September.
SenEx also will be working on a revision of the guidance procedures
“This will be a comprehensive review of existing procedures, with the goal of achieving internal consistency and streamlining the processes so that access to them is better and can be achieved through them quicker,” Wick said.
SenEx also will be considering the potential impact of a Congressional study of whether educators ought to be exempted from the mandatory retirement age, which is 70. The study will be complete in 1994.
"That is going to be a major change." Jerry said. "We are going to continue to evaluate the issue because it's such an important one."
