BY: Damian Lair and Eleri Griffin

WHEREAS, Numerous portions of the parking citation appeals process, as governed by the KSU SGA Constitution have proven to be unrealistic since their inception, thereby providing the Parking Citation Appeals Board an incomplete set of reasonable guidelines with which to operate under;

WHEREAS, The proposed amendment both establishes a complete and realistic appeals process, as well as provides a way for vacancies on the Parking Citation Appeals Board to be filled during the summer break period:

BE IT ENACTED THAT:

SECTION 1. Article VI Section 602.F. of the KSU SGA Constitution be repealed and a new section F be added as follows:

F. The Parking Citation Appeals Board shall be comprised of eleven positions, being allotted in the following manner: six student positions, three faculty member positions, and two staff positions. 1. Co-Chairs a. The board shall have two separate and equal co-chairs—one being a student and the other being either a faculty or staff member. Each co-chair shall be a joint appointment made by the Attorney General, the Student Body President, and the Vice President of Administration and Finance. b. Each co-chair shall be selected from among the eleven board members being appointed to the board for the upcoming term. c. Each co-chair shall simultaneously serve as a regular board member, sharing all of the responsibilities and duties of normal members, in addition to their specific co-chair duties. 2. Members a. The six student member positions shall be filled in the following specific manner: i. One student living off campus, unaffiliated with any organized campus living group. ii. One student from a fraternity or sorority who is a member of the Interfraternity Council or Panhellenic Council. iii. One student from the KSU Association of Residence Halls (KSUARH). iv.

WHEREAS, There is increasing public support to ensure the accessibility and affordability of higher education in the state of Kansas as proven by the Governor’s “Education First” Report;

WHEREAS, Governor Kathleen Sebelius promised in her State of the State address to reduce the need for significant tuition increases by stating, “Because of our difficult financial times, we have failed to keep a promise made to the state’s colleges and universities to provide funding to retain key faculty and minimize the need for tuition increases. My proposal fulfills that promise;”

WHEREAS, The Governor’s budget proposal actually increases the financial burden on state higher education institutions by recalling tuition, restricted fees, and student fees from universities and issuing unfunded mandates;

WHEREAS, The re-allocation of funds from tuition revenue and restricted fees to the State General Fund sets a dangerous precedent for future legislators to take funding from higher education;

WHEREAS, The restricted fees and tuition dollars that are being called back can be considered a “specialized tax” on students;

WHEREAS, These recalls serve only as a one time fix and thus will create significant problems during the next fiscal year; and

WHEREAS, This will create an even greater financial burden on universities, citizens, and future

-62- students;

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

SECTION 1. Kansas State University Student Governing Association strongly encourages that the Students’ Advisory Committee to the Kansas Board of Regents not support Governor Sebelius’ callbacks for restricted fees and tuition dollars in her budget proposal regarding higher education.

SECTION 2. Moreover, Kansas State University Student Governing Association strongly encourages Students’ Advisory Committee to pass a resolution reflecting the concerns of the student body.

SECTION 3. Kansas State University Student Governing Association strongly encourages the Kansas legislature to commit to prohibiting the future practice of calling back students’ tuition dollars and restricted fees to use for other purposes.

SECTION 4. Upon passage a copy of this resolution shall be sent to Kansas Board of Regents Chair Janice DeBauge, President and CEO of the Board of Regents Reginald Robinson, Kansas State University President Jon Wefald, Faculty Senate President Bob Zabel, the Students Advisory Committee to the Board of Regents, and Wildcats for Higher Education.
