The Kansas Board of Regents met on April 14, 2021 and approved two changes to its temporary COVID-19 policy.
The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday did not back away from a policy that temporarily would make it easier for the University of Kansas to dismiss tenured faculty due to budget woes. But the board did add a couple of new provisions aimed at increasing transparency with the controversial process.
During their board meeting on Wednesday, the Regents heard two recommended changes, which were developed by a workgroup tasked with reviewing the board’s current policy. The workgroup was created at the request of the Council of Faculty Senate Presidents.
Faced with the prospect of having the decision made for them, the Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday voted to commit to spending a proposed $10.3 million discretionary fund, if approved by the Kansas Legislature, on much-needed maintenance and upgrades for aging university facilities.
As part of her proposed budget for the 2022 fiscal year, Gov. Laura Kelly partially offset a $37.4 general fund reduction for state universities with a proposed $10.3 million allocation to the regents to distribute at their discretion. The $10.3 million allocation was calculated as the budget increase university funding would have seen, if university employees had otherwise been included in Kelly’s plan to give state employees a 2.5% salary increase.
