Regents to meet on funding woes

Tuesday, May 18, 1999 | 11:56 a.m.

University regents will wait until June to figure out how a Legislature budget decision will affect plans for covering increasing enrollment costs and providing funding equity among universities and community colleges.

When legislative committee meetings ended Friday, lawmakers gave the regents $23.7 million more than they asked for but earmarked less for enrollment increases than requested.

That frustrated some regents and raised the hackles of a couple of lawmakers who felt the university officials were being less than grateful for the funding increase.

Jill Derby, regents chairwoman, said that creates a poor climate for discussion. She canceled a special meeting set for Thursday and said regents will instead convene June 1.
