Faculty
Student Rights Reform, Delays Rest
Present Discipline System Is Hodge Podge

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN
Kernel Staff Writer
College students are often said to be
mature adults who are competent to make
their own decisions.
But that statement has been little
more than rhetoric in American higher
education and college administrators have
role
most often taken a decision-makin- g
in place of a student's parents.
This policy, called "in loco parentis,"
is aocal point in the findings and recom-

mendations of the Faculty Senate Committee on Student Affairs dealing with
student discipline.
The committee's report assesses the
present system at UK as having "no
specific procedures or offenses of any
kind . . enumerafed in the Governing
Regulations." There is no active formal
.

for violation of state or local laws. This
is the sole prerogative and duty of the
state and local police and judicial systems.
The sole concern of a university is to provide protection of, and facilities for, those
who seek knowledge.
Obviously, the system here accepts
system of investigating and handling

legations of student misconduct.
Decisions on disciplinary action rest
mainly w ith the Dean of Men and Dean
of Women and basis for these decisions
have never been formally stated. Only one
specific offense is enumerated in the Governing Regulations hazing with several
generalizations about alcoholic beverages,
cheating and financial delinquency.
The committee says, "The University

In various situations, the Deans of
Men and Women act as disciplinarians.
The procedures governing student offenses have developed outside formally
specified regulations of the University.
In actuality, there are really no concrete rules on what is a v iolation of discipline and how to determine and punish
any alleged violation. An inconsistent pattern of application of disciplinary rules
supports the committee's finding that

The

in loco

parentis practice,

brought to the forefront by statements like Johnson's and eouit
l
rulings calling for
proceedings, is especially evident
in the Dean's relationship with
local police.
When a student is arrested
for an offense, a member of the
Dean's staff is called at any
hour to talk to the student, and
often obtains his release. The
Dean becomes disciplinarian instead of counselor when the student often is paroled to him lor
quasi-judicia-

punishment.
The Dean of Men al
acts
as an intermediary betw een male
students and local individuals
conducting business with them.
A student who fails to meet some
financial obligation is usually
reported to the Dean's office. The
student is then contacted, informed of the legal steps that
may be taken against him and
urged to fulfill his obligation.
Dean Seward believes, the
committee found, that women's
misconduct usually stems from
tensions and frustrations. Consequently, the Dean conceives
of herself and her staff as being
guidance counsellors rather than
disciplinarians. "The objective
is not to force the student to
abide by rules and regulations
but to enable lier to understand
why she has violated them and
should not continue doing so.

The report was released Saturday and was a product of two

Pro-

pro)sal asks for increases in salaries and funds for
capital outlay and operating expenses and recommends an incentive program to coax local
school districts to make a greater
tax effort.
,
No cost is stated for the KEA
recommendations. And purposely
so.

Kincheloe explains the
of a price tag as a j)si-tiv- e
effort to concentrate on the
merits of the educational program rather than to dwell on
the costs of implementing it.
However, estimates made by
sources close to the KEA indicate
at least a doubling of the state's
present $140 million outlay to its
schools.

One estimate quoted

in

a

Louisville newspaper Tuesday
said the state will have to spend
$163 million a year more if it
implements most of the KEA
suggestions.

Houghly, the itucntive plan
would be to reward local sclwo
districts with a lnus if they
raise more mone than the required minimum.
While Kentucky ranks fairly
high nationally in the amount
of state supjiort given its schools,
it ranks low in the amount of
local support many districtsoffer,
Kincheloe explains.
The incentive plan would
hope to remedy the problem
somewhat.
Kincheloe said it ispasedon
an equalizing formula wherein
the incentive is given in relation
to local effort.
However, even without the
incentive plan and some other
proposals cost has still been estimated at alxuit $81.5 million
more than is now being spent.
Dr. James V. Martin, a former commissioner of finance and
a retired member of the college
fatuity of business and Economics, says if the $140 million
estimate is light immediate implementation could raise the total
state and local taxes from about
$96.17 per $1,000 pervmal income
to about $119.32 per $1,000.
Martin gets his tax information from 1963 census figures
which show average state and
local tax burden as just over
$103 per $1,000. The highest taxes on this basis are in Vermont
and Minnesota where the rate
is$127-plu- s

According to Martin there is
no advantage to issuing bonds
to pay for the educational programs. He explains first it might
be illegitimate to liorrow for operating expenses, and secondly
that ImmuI issues are really only
deferments of payment to which
interest and other costs must
be added.
Observers, however, do not
see the KEA proposal as likely
to be enacted as a package request. Rather it should come
on a priority basis with specific parts being called for over
a longrange program.
Likely to be high on the list
of priorities are requests for increases in capital outlay, current
