Wint Winter speaks for KU Students
"Kansas Students — not just those at KU, but at every institution — recognize you as a foremost Legislative leader for higher education and student concerns. We are particularly grateful for the strong support you and the other members of the Ways and Means Committee provided for university funding. We appreciate all the assistance you have given us over the years."

REPORT
Continued from p. 1
Will Dickinson, a writer for University Relations, said the task force proposals weren't enforceable man- but only a game plan for success.
"The task force is not a law-making body." Dickinson said. "These are not laws; these are recommendations."
Compliance and feasibility plans as well as timetables ultimately will be left up to the administrators named in the report's 25 planks.
"No specific dates are yet tied to the recommendations," Dickinson said. "The University will take the recommendations of the task force and draw up a plan of action."
The report itself calls for rewards to go to departments that have success in recruiting minorities. The report calls for those offices to be “tangibly” rewarded, although again, it provided no specifics.
"Some of the money may come from the Margin of Excellence, and possibly scholarships could come from Campaign Kansas," he said.
Many of the proposals would cost money if implemented. Recommendations, such as those calling for increased scholarships, will need to be written into this year's budget, Dickinson said.
The Margin of Excellence is the three-year plan to increase total financing of Board of Regents universities to 95 percent of their peer institutions and increase faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers. Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $150 million fund-raising drive.
Excerpts from the report
The following excerpts are taken from the report of the Minority issues Task Force:
- the campus must increase the number of minority faculty, staff and students through aggressive coordinated recruitment efforts.
Financial support for minority students, especially scholarships, should be increased.
A plan should be developed to work with elementary and secondary schools in Kansas and in large metropolitan areas to encourage academically talented minority students to go to college.
The stipend for the Langston Hughes Visiting Professorship should be increased to be expanded to make it more attractive.
A plan should be developed to reward those academic units successfully recruiting minorities.
- The executive vice chancellor should ensure funding for these activities.
2. "The campus must create an academic atmosphere that nourishes and encourages minority faculty, staff and students to succeed."
The Minority Issues Task Force should remain in place for a year to monitor implementation of its recommendations. Then the affirmative action board should review progress and annually report to the executive vice chancellor.
Campus governance and student groups should be trained to handle racism.
University Relations and the office of affirmative action should
better publicize the role of affirmative action.
- The counseling center should develop a composite portrait of the successful minority student.
- 3. "All members of the campus community must work together to create a culture that values the diversity minorities bring to University life and that responds powerfully and forthrightly to any incidents of racism and prejudice that occur here."
- The office of affirmative action should develop a guidebook on enhancing minority participation and how to handle racism.
- The undergraduate schools and the college should consider requiring a course in race relations or human relations; including material on cultural diversity in appropriate courses;
- Teaching in the student orientation programs, or special orientation programs for minority students.
- Material on race relations and racism should be used in the training of supervisory personnel, both classified and unclassified.
University administrators should consider replacing the minority affairs office with an office of multicultural affairs. The new office would work with the office of foreign student services and have expanded duties.
Each year the executive vice chancellor should meet with the Black Ecumenical Fellowship Council of Lawrence and the Lawrence Law Center to discuss the cooperation with the community in eliminating racism and improving race relations.
