    Governor Sam Brownback, Senate and House Leadership, Members of the House Appropriations Committee, Senate Ways and Means Committee, Budget Conferees, House Education Committee, & Senate Education Committee Andy Tompkins, President & CEO March 27, 2013 State University Spending per FTE Student We have received questions from Legislators about information they received from the Kansas Policy Institute (KPI) on March 24, 2013, regarding state university spending per full-time equivalent (FTE) student. We were asked if the KPI information is an accurate depiction of state university spending per FTE student. The KPI analysis takes the total number of FTE students divided by the total operating expenditures financed from all funds to derive total expenditures per FTE student. This simple methodology does not accurately depict state university spending on the instructional mission, nor does it accurately describe the financing of spending per FTE student. The facts are: Since 1993, the Kansas Board of Regents has published a State University Data Book. For the past 20 years, a table published in the State University Data Book (Table 1.40) displays the trend in per student spending. The methodology was developed in consultation with policymakers and has been endorsed by the Regents, Governors and Legislators for many years. The simple calculation used by KPI includes all categories of program expenditures in the per FTE student calculation. This means items like research, auxiliary services and other expenditures, that are not part of the education program of the universities, are included in the calculation. The simple calculation used by KPI also includes all categories of funds in the per FTE student calculation.

It starts in 10 minutes. As he crosses the intersection at 15th and Naismith, Matt, a sophomore from Hays, pushes full speed toward the paved stretch between Budig and Marvin Halls — only five minutes away from Wescoe. lifeHow four Matt motors up Wescoe’s wheelchair ramp, only to be foiled by a set of heavy glass doors he can’t open. This entrance has no handicap-accessible buttons or automatic door openers, so he patiently waits outside, knowing he will be late unless someone students sees him and opens the door. Although Matt has learned to cope with frustration, these moments remind him of conquered the price he pays to be a Jayhawk. Matt became a partial quadriplegic after an accident on a playground damaged his campus, spine when he was 6 months old. Like Matt, students with physical disabilities at the University face challenges in navigating hills and old buildings and getting to class on time. The three students who have self-identified with KU Disability Resources as despite having mobility problems don’t reflect the total number of students who encounter these barriers on campus.
