The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The executive director of the Board of Regents said yesterday that a committee's recommendation to finance 83 percent of the Margin of Excellence plan showed a strong commitment by the Legislature to improve state universities.
"My sense is there's general satisfaction among the Regents and the campuses over this strong show of support," said Stanley Koplik, the executive director.
executive in charge. Meanwhile, the chairman of the House-Senate negotiating committee, State Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Lenene, said the compromise was the best that legislators could reach.
The Senate earlier had approved financing for the entire Margin plan, but the House approved only the salary increases.
safety increases.
The compromise must be approved by the House, the Senate and Gov. Mike Haven before it becomes law.
On Saturday, the committee
recommended financing 83 percent of the money requested by the Regents for faculty salary increases and improvements in academic programs.
That amounts to $5.3 million in extra money for salaries and $3.8 million for academic programs, said Ray Hauke, a budget analyst for the Regents. The Regents had requested $6.3 million for salaries and $4.5 million for other improvements.
The extra money will increase faculty salaries next year by 7.5 percent and allow universities to improve libraries, research equipment and student services.
Under the compromise, all faculty, including researchers and library workers, would receive the salary increases. Hayden had recommended that only faculty who taught students should receive increases.
