Kansas restricts interstate trading
Regents refuse to use funds to underwrite out-of-state education
By Brenden Sager Kansan staff writer
A system where students receive state money to attend universities in other states is beginning to spread across the country — and controversy follows it.
The Board of Regents is opposed to the system known as portable aid.
Dewayne Matthews, manager of student exchange programs for the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education in Denver, said that states in the commission's area were looking actively toward portable aid as a way of fairly distributing students from states that have too many eligible public university applicants to those states that have too few.
The commission's area encompasses all 15 western states, including Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota and New Mexico.
Matthews said portable aid gave over- enrolled state universities the option of sending students to under-enrolled universities. He said this would ease budget pressures because crowded schools no longer would need to construct additional campus facilities.
He also said the states' taxpayers weren't fond of using state money to send their residents to
Regents allocations
1995-96 Kansas Board of Regents Supplemental Grant Allocations are awarded based on the percentage, of each university's student body, of students who are in economic need.
"That doesn't make taxpayers very happy," said Christine Crenshaw, Kansas Board of Regents director of student financial aid.
She said that was why the Regents did not support portable aid as our western neighbor does.

in the form of Regents Supplemental Grants could not be used at out-of-state institutions. State money is allocated to the student through a Kansas university of the student's choice.
The grants are based on the percentage of student who are in economic need at each Regent's university.
In Kansas, statutes were established three years ago that clearly outline the use of Kansas' financial aid money.

Moreover, the grants can be used only at the institution the student first chooses. Crenshaw said that if a student received a grant to attend Wichita State University, the grant could not be transferred if the student
decided to come to the University of Kansas.
Crenshaw said the Regents cut administrative costs by having individual universities deal with state grant money.
Matthews said debate about portable aid arose two years ago, when the commission released a study on the number of high school graduates in each state.
He said this was a chief determining factor in the universities' budgeting.
