"The bug in the system was first brought to our attention in fall of 1999," said loan Webster, senior systems analysts for information technology. University officials could not say how much extra money UT may have gotten due to the emir. "Basically, one problem is with the promote rule," said Patsy Scott, executive director of institu- tional research. The program was also placing graduate students with more than 30 credit hours in a position that allowed the university to gain additional subsidies, Scott said. The promote rule classifies student rank according to the number of credit hours that a student earns. EDUCATION MEMORABILIA It has two components: undergraduate level and graduate level. Degreed students or students in graduate programs with more than 34 graduate credit hours are supposed to be placed into the SCHOOLHOUSE BRINGS doctoral pool, Scott said.
