UK tuition hike
comparable
to other schools

Budget woes: Some schools are worse off
than UK when it comes to tuition increases

wmm
W

UK students may be upset by the recent rise in tu-
ition, but they are not alone.

Schools across the state and the nation are experi-
encing tuition hikes as high as 39 percent for the 2003
2004 academic year.

The UK Board of Trustees approved a 14.5 percent
tuition hike last month alter the state legislature an-
nounced a $31.5 million cut in university funding over
the next two years.

At least three other state universities have imple-
mented tuition increases for next year. Full~time under-
graduates at the University of Louisville will pay an
additional 9 percent, raising their tuition $368 armually.
Morehead State University will likely see a 15 percent
increase, and Northern Kentucky University is raising
tuition by 16 percent.

The Kentucky Community and Technical College
System announced the state’s greatest percent tuition
increase at 23.4 percent

Colleges and universities blame rising costs on flat
state funding and a lagging US. economy.

“They are going to withhold $8.6 million we antici-
pated getting,” said Jack Blanton, senior vice president
for administration.

UK’s 16 colleges were asked to decrease their bud-
gets by 2 percent, Blanton said. Staff support systems
were asked to reduce their budgets by up to 2.5 percent.

To make matters worse, UK was already attempt-
ing to reduce the budget before the legislature cut
funds in March.

“We’re having to absorb very large budget cuts one
on top of the other,” said Eugene Williams, vice presi-
dent of fiscal affairs and information technology at UK.

According to data collected from UK’s benchmark
institutions by the Office of Institutional Research,
Ohio State University had a 19 percent hike in tuition
this year. A 5 to 9 percent increase for resident under-
graduates is likely for 20032004 as well.

Increases are more drastic elsewhere in the nation.

Last year, tuition at the University of Iowa rose 19
percent and will rise another 19 percent this coming
fall. The University of Arizona will experience its
biggest increase dollar-wise in school history Rates for
resident undergraduates are going up 39 percent, or
about $1,000 per academic year.

Mikung Ryu, policy analyst for the National Cen-
ter for Public Policy and Higher Education, said it is
unfortunate that, unlike previous depressions. the cur-
rent one came at a time when the importance of higher
education is on the rise.

“Students have to work more hours which means it
will take more years to finish college.” Ryu said. “If
they are lucky enough to finish it, they will be sitting
on a large deb

Some schools are easing the financial burden for
continuing students. Purdue University raised tuition
34 percent for incoming residents last fall, but continu-
ing students only paid an additional 10 percent

Such scenarios present a number of problems, par-
ticularly when students leave and later reenroll, said
Angie Martin, associate vice president for planning,
budget and policy analysis at UK.

Last year UK was below the average. Tuition and
fees at UK’s benchmarks rose an average of 12.6 per-
cent; tuition at UK went up 6.4 percent.

Martin says it is too soon to predict whether next
year’s increase will be greater or lesser than this year’s.

Justice Department drops probe of professor

The
said
Tuesday it had dropped its
investigation of a complaint
by a Texas Tech l'niyersity
student that a biology pro-

fessor was discriminating
against students who did not
believe in evolution.

The department said it
ended its probe :ifter Profes
sor Michael Dini eliminated
the evolution belief require
ment in his rectiniiiieiidation
policy and replaced it With a
requirement that students
be able to t‘\'l)l.‘illi the theory

In (t complaint filed \\'1lll
the Justice department. a
student at llll' lllll\l‘i‘\ll\ in
Lubbock. Te\;is accused

Dini of refusing to write let-
ters of recommendation
based on their religious be~
liefs

The student. Micah
Spradling. said as a creation-
ist he couldn‘t espouse a be-
lief in human evolution to
get a recommendation.

Spradling was joined in
filing the complaint by the
Liberty Legal Institute. a re-
ligious freedom group that
called Dini's policy “open re-
ligious bigotry." The com-

letter at the other school.

Dini's previous recom-
mendation policy on his Web
page advised students seek-
ing a recommendation to be
prepared to answer the ques-
tion: “How do you think the
human species originated?"

“If you cannot truthful-
ly and forthrightly affirm :1
scientific answer to this
question. then you should
not seek my recommenda
tion for admittance to fur-
ther education in the bio-
medical sciences." Dini pre
viously wrote.

The Web site now reads:
“How do you account for the
scientific origin of the hu»
man species? if you will not

give a scientific answer to
this question. then you
should not seek my recom-
mendation."

Dini adds later that the
requirement “should not be
misconstrued as discrimina-
tory against anyone's per-
sonal beliefs."

The Justice Department
praised the change in Dini's
policy.

“A biology student may
need to understand the theo-
ry of evolution and be able
to explain it. But a state-run
university has no business
telling students what they
should or should not believe
in." Ralph Boyd Jr. assistant
attorney general for civil
rights. said in a statement.

Dame offers music

with a vraiety of acts

Venue: Lexinqton's
entertainment gets new
addition with The Dame,
located downtown on
Main Street

By Johnny Dixon

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There's a new “lady" in
town. and she‘s ready to bring
a variety of entertainers to
Lexington.

"We‘re filling up a void in
Lexington's live music mar-
ket." said Brandon Judd. pfll)»
licist for Lexington's brand
new live music venue. The
Dame.

The Dame. located at 136
W. Main St. opened to the
public on April 16.

Depending on the night
of the week. audiences can
hear genres of music ranging
from alternative country and
roots to blues and rock.

And while no hipliop
acts have been scheduled.
Judd said the venue has fir
ture plans to bring hip-hop be-
cause Lexington “hasn‘t real-
ly dipped into“ this arena yet.

Judd believes Lexington
is in great need of The Dame.

He says he realized how
much Lexingtonians embrace
and yearn for live music after
seeing so many at out-of-town
concerts in Cincinnati and [n-
dianapolis.

“We want this to be Lex-
ington’s club." Judd said.

Judd said unlike the con-
cert schedules of places like
Rupp Arena that feature
mostly big names in either
country or pop. The Dame
will offer music that crosses
the genre spectrum.

 

“We seek am thing of mu
sical quality" Judd said.

Jonathan \‘Inr‘eiit. :I Hi
grad student. said The Dami-
sounds exciting.

"ln‘xingtou‘s music scene
has suffered greatly since the
closing of Li'nagh's. It has
been :Ilisoliitelt impiner

Casualties worth
Saddam's removal

1°. 9‘? 99“”?

Here's an excerpt from Candace Jackson's April 15
column: " ’ou don‘t have to march in an anti-war protest
to care what happens to the people of Iraq. You just have
to appreciate that Iraqi lives are no more expendable be-
cause they call God by a different name , 7 and the capture
of a dictator. no matter how cruel. is not worth the sacri-

Iraq. they will.

There is a special place in history for people like Jack
son. Most notable of her company is Neville Chamberlain.
former prime minister of Great Britain. When a “cruel
dictator" came to power in Germany. Chamberlain sat
