with this problem. LD577, passed by the 1976 Uni

Ehely be aa feme at the November meeting cf the Arner
fcaa Association cf University Ptcfessors (AAU?).
Mel Fcrde, UNL AAU? chapter president, said faculty
members have expressed concern about the ccnilndentisl
ity cf workload information and professional fees. The
emergence cf a state computer network for employe pay
roll informatioa has added to their concern, he said.
The computer network, called the Nebraska Employe
Information System, was planned to start ia January, but
is behind schedule. The university and the State Depart
ment of Administrative Services (DAS) have argued over
UNL's rob ia the system. The argument remains unre
solved. If the university becomes a part of the system, then
professional fees may again become an issue. Last spring,
the Nebraska Supremo Court ruled that the fees, for ser
vices outside the university, were private information.
Because cf this the state cannot demand the informa
tion cr release it to the press.
"Two people this week have expressed concern about
the statewide computer concept. They said they are con
cerned that all the information would be available to any
one in the Department cf Adnrnistrative Services who
waited to press the key, Fcrde said.
Stanley Katzke, DAS director, said in a legislative
Appropriations Committee meeting that it would be ille
gal for a state employe to release any confidential inform
ation in the system.
The faculty members also were concerned about the
security of confidential information stored in the UNL
computer. Results of a faculty workload study are stored
oa tape at the UNL Computer Center. .
The study, made last year, shows the cumber of hours
spent cm research and teachbg. Forde said Steven Sample,
executive vice president for academic affairs, has said all
possible steps were being taken to assure confidentiality,
but that it would be possible for someone familiar with
the computer to get the information.
