The Nebraska Legislature Wednesday adopted aS of the
Appropriations Committee's amendments to its higher
education appropriations bill, LE690.
With no opposition, LB690 was advanced to select file.
It may be amended further at that stage.
On a vote of 30-11, the senators endorsed Utica Sen.
Douglas Bereuter's amendment for $850,000 to improve
UNL undergraduate education. The amendment requires
the university to reduce class sizes and to recruit senior
classroom faculty members whose workload would be at
least 75 per cent undergraduate instruction. It also
requires that current faculty members' classroom time
shall not decrease, and that teaching assistant classroom
time won't increase.
Bereuter argued that an undergraduate education at
UNL was, in fact, declining. Evidence of this, he said, was .
a survey of 13 university departments which showed that
one-third of all freshmen 100-level course sections at the
university have at least . 50 students enrolled. In 21 per
cent of these classes, more than 100 students are enrolled, -and
in 14 per cent of the 100-level courses, more than 150
students are enrolled.
Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh objected to the Bereuter
amendment. He argued that the Legislature had provided
$800,000 and $922,000 respectively in the past two fiscal
years for Areas of Excellence and for improved student
teacher contact. If university administrators had not taken
care of undergraduate education with those programs and
their own initiative, he said, they should be fired.
Bereuter contended those amounts were piecemeal,
and that his amendment would require the NU Board of '
Regents to account for the program expenditures and
their success or failure.
The senators also voted 25-2 to provide $88,000 for
the UNL Office of Minority Affairs. That amendment,
sponsor Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said, was needed
in case federal funds are lost.
The amendment requires that should federal funds con
tinue to be available, the general fund appropriation
would lapse.
Currently, six of the office's eight staff members are
paid by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare. That grant wi3 end June 30. The
office now is in the process of trying to obtain more
federal funds. ,
Other amendments approved and added to the appro
priations bill were those effectively combining budgetary
programs on all campuses. By these, appropriations for
programs that include adnimistnitive costs, plant opera
tions and the State University of Nebraska would be made
to the central administration. : :
Other appropriations would combine budgetary pro
grams at UNL, the University of Nebraska at Omaha
(UNO), the University of Nebraska Medical Center and
the Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The result is a form of single-sum budgeting. The
regents had asked the Legislature for a single appropria
tion to the central administration office to be distributed
by the board.
Previously, the Legislature has broken down each cam
pus budget into separate appropriations.
The senators did, however, approve an amendment
appropriating and specifying a $919,546 tax fund in
crease to the Institute of Agriculture and Natural
Resources for a computerized agriculture information
network, areas of excellence, agriculture experiment
stations and the extension division.
