Administrators considering tuition raise

Cash: Universities often take bigger hits in bad times
because they have a revenue source: raising tuition

By Tracy Kershaw
EDITOR IN CHIEF

Students could soon be
doling out more in tuition.

Among other options. ad-
ministrators say they are con.
sidering raising tuition if
they have to make up for a
possible $16.5 million out in

state appropriations.

"Any time you have cuts
that are the magnitude of the
potential of next year. you
have to revisit issues pertain
ing to tuition." said Mike Ni»
etzel. academic provost.

Neither Nietzel nor oth-
er administrators would
speculate how high of an in-

crease there might be.

2002-2003 undergraduate
tuition was $1,987.25 for resi-
dents and $5,263.25 for non-
residents.

In Kentucky. tuition and
fees at public universities in—
creased 5 to 9 percent be-
tween the 2001-02 and 2002-03
academic years.

Nationwide. four-year
public colleges and universi-
ties went up $356. or 9.6 per-
cent. to $4.081 during that

same period. according to a
College Board study released
in October.

“Higher education gets
cut more than other cate-
gories when times are tough
because higher education
can bring in its own revenue
in tuition." said Will Doyle, a
senior policy analyst for the
Center on Public Policy and
Higher Education.

The College Board‘s re-
port blamed tuition increases

on a slowdown in the growth
of state appropriations as the
sour economy lowered tax
revenue to the states.

“We want to protect
against dramatic tuition in-
creases." said Tony Goetz. as-
sociate dean for community
relations who lobbies for UK
in Frankfort. “The people at
the university are looking at
our responsibility to have
the very best program for an
affordable price."

Doyle said financial aid
must increase along with tu-
ition to allow lower-income
students to attend college.

“Middle and upper class
students » they‘ve grown up
in an environment where it's
known that they'll go to col
lege. It will be painful for
their families, but they’re
still going to go." he said.
“Low income students _ if
they can't afford. they are
not going to attend."

Athletics director signs 7-year contract

Signed: Barnhart's contract gives UK right to fire AD
at any time without cause; deal laden with incentives

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE . Ken-
tucky athletics director
Mitch Barnhart on Wednes-
day signed a seven-year con-
tract laden with incentives
for on-the-field successes but
giving the school wide lati-
tude to fire him.

Barnhart. who has been
on the job since August. will
be paid a base salary of
3375000 each year. Barnhart
will be eligible for perfor-
mance bonuses up to 3100.000
if the Wildcats' athletics
learns reach postseason play.
He also is in line for bonuses
to reward his longevity on the
job.

Barnhart said he appre-
ciated the show of support
from University of Kentucky
President Lee Todd and UK
Board of Trustees Chairman
Steve Reed.

"I'm anxious to turn the
attention to our 22 sports and
500 student-athletes as we put
together a program that all

Wildcat fans can be proud of."
Barnhart said in a brief state-
ment.

Todd said he also was
pleased to have the contract
finalized.

“We're glad that we can
move forward." he said.

Todd said the contract w
which runs from Aug. 1. 2002
to June 30. 2009 A7 was “fairly
complex." a reason Barnhart
was on the job nearly half a
year before signing the
agreement.

The 21-page contract.
also signed by Todd. includes
a nine-page section dealing
with termination.

The contract requires
Barnhart to promptly inform
Todd of any rules violations
or any information that indi-
cates a “significant viola-
tion" might have occurred.
His failure to do so could re
sult in his firing.

Todd recently rebuked
Barnhart for not telling him
about NCAA violations

linked to new Kentucky foot-
ball coach Rich Brooks when
Brooks was coach at Oregon
22 years ago. Barnhart ac-
knowledged that he never
mentioned the situation to
Todd before Brooks was
hired and apologized.

The contract gives the
university the right to fire
Barnhart at any time with-
out cause. Barnhart would
be entitled to his base salary
for the remainder of his con-
tract if let go under such cir-
cumstances.

Under the agreement.
Barnhart could be fired for
any major rules violation in
which he exhibited “knowing
or deliberate conduct. or any
conduct demonstrating a
reckless disregard" for an in-
fraction.

Barnhart left his job as
athletics director at Oregon
State to replace Larry Ivy as
head of UK‘s athletics. At
Kentucky. Barnhart inherit-
ed an athletics department
stung by recruiting viola-
tions in the football program
and a poor review of the uni-
versity‘s athletics depart-

ment.

Kentucky's football pro-
gram faces two more years of
probation and scholarship
reductions for recruiting vio-
lations committed under for-
mer coach Hal Mumme, who
resigned in February 2001.

Mumme‘s successor. Guy
Morriss. left Kentucky on
Dec. 9 to become the coach at
Baylor. Barnhart received
considerable heat from fans
when he missed his self-im-
posed Christmas deadline for
finding a new coach.

Once he hired the 61-
year-old Brooks. who had
been out of football for two
years. Barnhart remained on
the defensive. Brooks' links
to the NCAA violations at
Oregon came to light hours
after Brooks was hired at
Kentucky Oregon was sanc-
tioned by the NCAA in 1981
for violations committed by
an assistant coach who tilti-
mately resigned.

Brooks was never direct-
ly tied to the violations. which
included academic fraud and

Postsecondary Education. ”it's going to be
tough. but I'm optimistic it can be done."
Thomas Layzell said. ”No matter how hard
the task. you've got to be positive. You've got
to move forward. Besides. what‘s the alterna-
tive?“ Layzell, 64. has faced the same prob-
lem before. He‘s been trying to improve edu-
cation despite declines in funding in Missis-
sippi. where he is the state’s commissioner
on higher education. ”In Mississippi. we lost
16 percent of our higher education funding
the past three years and it looks like we
might lose another 8 or 9 percent this year."
Layzell said. While Mississippi legislators
also made educational reforms a priority.
Kentucky set a longer term goal of using
higher education to improve the quality of
life through the year 2020. Layzell said. “In
Kentucky. I'm going to put a lot of emphasis
on developing a consensus among educators
and legislators about our priorities." he
said. ”I‘ve been involved with state govern-
ments more than 30 years. and I know that
the results are a lot better when you're work-
ing together instead of being divided." Col-
lege presidents are counting on Layzell to
keep reform efforts from weakening. “He
has the ability to see the big picture and
keep a consensus built and that's essential
because we are at a serious crossroads in
post-secondary reform right now." said Ed
Hughes. president of Gateway Community
and Technical College.

CBS reacts to criticism of show

rows its premise from the hit 19603 sitcom.
This time, the network planned to use a real
family instead of a fictional one. An advoca-
cy group. the Center for Rural Strategies.
placed a second round of newspaper ads
protesting the series in newspapers on
Wednesday. There is still no schedule for
when, or if, the series will get on the air. CBS
President Leslie Moonves said. “It's a show
that's still very, very much in the discussion
stages." he said. “We have not even located a
family." Casting is being conducted in West
Virginia, Kentucky. Virginia, Tennessee,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor-
gia. “Sometimes you're pushing the enve-
lope. and sometimes it may appear you're
pushing it too far. It wasn't our intent to of-
fend everybody," he said. “I'm sorry if we
have." Moonves also pointed out that the
biggest buffoon in the original sitcom was
the rich guy next door. “He's back-pedaling."
said Dee Davis. president of the Whitesburg,
Ky-based Center for Rural Strategies. While
Davis was encouraged by Moonves' com-

D.C. mall facility free of anthrax

No anthrax was detected at a govern-
ment mail facility that handled a Federal
Reserve letter that tested positive in prelim-
inary readings. the Postal Service said
Wednesday. The Washington postal facility
was closed for the day while samples from
the site were tested. A suspect sample was
sent to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention for further testing. Late Wednes-
day. the Fed announced that those tests, con-
ducted by the state of North Carolina under
the CDC’s guidance. found no presence of
anthrax. The central bank also said the
CDC in Atlanta planned more tests on the
sample. Since the anthrax-by-mail attacks
in 2001. the Fed has been testing its mail in
an outside trailer before allowing it into the
central bank's headquarters. There had
been positive readings twice before. in De-
cember 2001 and May 2002. but this was the
first time that a more sophisticated labora-
tory test had detected the presence of live
anthrax spores. Five people died in the 2001
anthrax attacks. including two postal work-
ers. Eighteen other people were infected.
Major mail sorting facilities in New Jersey
and Washington were contaminated in the
attacks and both remain closed. Fumigation
to destroy the anthrax spores was recently
completed at the Brentwood Road facility in
Washington. Once further testing is com-
pleted. the New Jersey plant will be decont-
aminated.

ACLU: Big Brother society possible

A report released Wednesday by the
American Civil Liberties Union warns that
the United States is evolving into a Big
Brother society fueled by technology ad-
vances and legal standards loosened after
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “A combina-
tion of lightning-fast technological innova-
tions and the erosion of privacy protections
threatens to transform Big Brother from an
oft-cited but remote threat into a very real
part of American life." the report says. Leg-
islation passed after the Sept. 11 attacks al-
lows the government to more easily tap tele-
phones and computers. conduct searches
without immediately notifying the target
and even get records of library patrons'
reading habits. the report said. Viet Dinh.
an assistant US. attorney general and one
of the government's spokesmen on security
topics. said in an earlier interview that the
Bush administration would not abuse its
powers. “I think security exists for liberty
to flourish and liberty cannot exist without
order and security," Dinh said.

Bush: Race polic
unconstitutional

Politics: Democrats, civil rights leaders outraged
about brief filed against affirmative action case

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -_ Presi-
dent Bush. stepping into the
most politically charged afv
firmative action case in a
generation. asserted Wednes-
day that a program of racial
preferences for minority ap-
plicants at the University of
Michigan was “divisive. un-
fair and impossible to square
with the Constitution."

Democrats and civil
rights leaders swiftly at-
tacked Bush‘s position in a
Supreme Court case that
could overturn a 1978 affir-
mative action ruling and
jeopardize 25 years of race-
based programs.

“The Bush administra-
tion continues a disturbing
pattern of using the rhetoric
of diversity as a substitute
for real progress on a civil
right agenda," said Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass., a candi-
date for the Democratic pres-
idential nomination.

Sensitive to such criti-
cism. the White House said a
brief being filed Thursday
on Bush’s behalf is narrowly
tailored to oppose the Michi-
gan program and does not
address a critical question:
whether race can play a role
at all in selecting a student
body. Bush chose to let the
Supreme Court settle an is-
sue that could reshape affir-
mative action programs na-
tionwide.

The court hears the case
in March.

Some conservatives, in-
cluding senior members of
Bush’s own Justice Depart‘
ment, had urged Bush to take
a tougher stand against ever
using race. In an unusual for-
ay into domestic policy, na-
tional security adviser Con-
doleezza Rice participated in
the discussions and eventual-
ly sided with Bush‘s split-the-
difference approach.

Rice, who is black, op-
posed q‘uotas as provost of
Stanford University.

"I strongly support di-
versity of all kinds, includ-
ing racial diversity in higher
education.“ Bush said in the
Roosevelt Room to announce
that his administration
would file a brief. “But the
method used by the Universi-
ty of Michigan to achieve
this important goal is funda-
mentally flawed."

The Michigan program
“amounts to a quota system
that unfairly rewards or penal-
izes prospective students sole-
ly on their race,“ Bush said.

He said the undergradu-
ate admissions program
awards black. Hispanic and
native American students 20
points, one-fifth of the total
normally needed for admis-
sion. At the law school. some
minority students are admit-
ted to meet percentage targets
while others with higher
grades are passed over, Bush
said.

“Quota systems that use
race to include or exclude
people from higher educa-
tion and the opportunities it
offers are divisive. unfair
and impossible to square
with the Constitution.“

The last Supreme Court
case that addressed affirma-
tive action in college admis-
sions banned the outright
use of racial quotas but still
allowed university admis-
sions officers to use race as a
factor. The case, the 1978
Bakke ruling, involved a
white applicant rejected
from a public medical school
in California.

Bush said that “racial
prejudice is a reality in our
country" and Americans
should not be satisfied with
the current numbers of mi-
norities on college campus.
But in trying to fix the prob-
lem, Bush said, “we must not
use means that create another
wrong.”

As an option to quotas
and preferences, Bush point-
ed to admissions programs

in other states including
his home state of Texas
that promote diversity with-
out giving students an edge
based solely on their race.

In Texas. as governor,
Bush proposed that stu-
dents graduating in the top
10 percent of all high
schools be eligible for ad-
mission to state schools.
Supporters say that had
the effect of continuing a
stream of minority stu
dents because some public
high schools are nearly all
black or Hispanic.

State figures show Texas
colleges have enrolled more
minorities under Bush's pro-
gram. but not at a pace to
keep up with national trends.
state goals or the booming
population growth.

Bush has called the pro-
gram “race neutral" because
no quotas or racial prefer-
ences were involved. But se-
nior White House officials.
seeking to cast Bush‘s ap-
proach as moderate. said
race was at least an indirect
factor in the Texas program
because diversity was the
primary goal of the pro-
gram.

“Our government must
work to make college more
affordable for students who
come from economically dis-
advantaged backgrounds and
because we’re committed to
racial justice, we must make
sure that America‘s public
schools offer a quality educa»
tion to every child from
every background." Bush
said.

Noting that Bush an-
nounced his decision on the
birthday of civil rights hero
Martin Luther King. civil
rights activist Jesse Jackson
said. “He is intentionally
flaming racial fears for
wedge politics.“

Bush got into Yale Uni-
versity in part because the
school gives credit to the
sons of alumni, Jackson
said, comparing that advan—
tage to the University of
Michigan point system de-
nounced by Bush.

The WT. Young Library
has free rental services for
students and a usable scan-
ning system for movie
rentals. he said.

Hutchinson said that the
student fees could be better
used by creating a wider
video selection instead of
buying video scanners and
other start-up items.

Robinson. however. said
the Student Center is a bet-
ter location and that few stu-
dents know about the video
service at the library.

"The students need to
know 80 exists for represen-
tation." Robinson said. “The
video service gets students
to come to the SG Office and
that increases business for
other SG activities."

Government implements steps
to prevent attack on U.S. planes

Danger: White House official says missiles fired
at Israeli passenger plane in Kenya are plentiful

ASSOCIAIiD PRESS WRIIER

\\'.-\Slllf\'tl’l‘t)f\‘ The
government has taken
undisclosed steps to protect
commercial flights from a
missile attack and a task
force has been assembled to
come up with more ideas. of
ticials said Wednesday.

The government IIJS
long been concerned about
the possibility of a shoulder
fired missile taking down .1
plane. but an unsuccessful
attack on an Israeli jet in
Kenya in Novemlwr has-
tened the need to act.

After the attempted
shootdown. US. security of-
ficials formed a task force to
assess the danger posed by
such weapons. They con-
cluded the threat could be
serious because the rockets
are portable and plentiful.
according to a White House
official who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity.

Sen. Bill Nelson. D-Fla.
said commercial aviation in
the United States would be
crippled if a plane was
struck by a missile.

“It is my intention to
ferret out what the adminis
tration is doing and on what
timetable they're doing it."
said Nelson. who sits on the
Commerce Committee.
which oversees aviation.

”Yesterday isn't
enough.“

He said airports are do-
mg some things to keep ter~
I‘Hl‘lsis away from their
pernm-ters.

People are no longer al»
lowed to stand north of a
runway at Uilando Interna-
tional Airport and watch
pl'ines take off and land. he

said.

FBI spokesman .Iohn
lannarelli said officials are
tocnsing on identifying vul-
nerable areas at the nation’s
airports and ensuring
greater vigilance among lo-
cal police and airport offi»
cials.

One approach under
consideration is a neighbor-
hood watch program that
would educate local police
and residents near airports
to identify missile parts and
to be on the lookout for sus-
picious people.

“Someone is not going
to be able to just whip one of
these things out of a brief-
case." lannarelli said.

Council. the White House of-
fice of homeland security.

safety agencies are part of

spokesman Ari Fleischer
said.

"There have already
been steps taken" that must
remain confidential for secu-
rity reasons. Fleischer said.
adding that more plans are
in the works.

Though security has
been tightened considerably
at airports since the Sept. 11
attacks. passenger planes
still are seen as vulnerable
to missiles that could be
launched from outside an
airport's perimeter. Federal
officials are looking at vari-
ous options to protect them.

“There’s a wide-ranging,
active discussion about this
issue." said Chet Lunner,
Transportation Department
spokesman.

Shoulder-fired missiles
are relatively cheap and
easy to use. Hundreds and
perhaps thousands of SA-7s

heat-seeking rockets that
can hit low-flying aircraft
within 30 miles M are avail-
able to terrorists on the
worldwide arms market.

Terrorists fired two SA-7
missiles that narrowly
missed a
