Regulations hinder vacation planning
By STEVE ROM
Contributing Writer
State regulations, local considerations and
the quarter system create a "straight jacket”
when trying to schedule holidays for University
students and employees, said Bruce Shutt, Uni
versity registrar.
Shutt, who recommends the academic cal
endar to the University Council, said the cal
endar must coordinate with state Board of
Regents’ rules, dealing with length of classes
and the time period within which classes must
fall. Religious holidays and holidays such as
Martin Luther King Jr. Day must also be taken
into consideration.
‘There’s very little option,” Shutt said.
‘There’s very little you can do here with the
regulations and the University constraints.”
Among the state regulations is the “2,500-
minute rule” which requires each five-credit-
hour class to be scheduled to meet at least 41
hours and 40 minutes each quarter. Also, regis
tration and the first day of classes are prohib
ited by the state from taking place on a
religious holiday, he said.
Shutt said many University constraints also
exist. For example, classes or finals are sched
uled in December to allow veterans to receive a
monthly military stipend.
The summer quarter schedule must be ar
ranged to allow enough time for teachers to at
tend and complete required work outside the
classroom.
Delmer Dunn, academic affairs associate
vice president, said, “Preferably, we would like
to begin the quarter on a Monday and end on a
Friday. Any holiday will throw this out of
kilter.”
Dunn said winter quarter was scheduled to
begin on a Friday in order to compensate for ob
serving Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Shutt heads the Educational Affairs Com
mittee which works within these and other re
strictions to produce a workable calendar. The
recommendation of this group is sent to the
University Council for approval. The committee
includes seven faculty members and one stu
dent.
Dunn works closely with this committee to
promote the academic interests of the Univer
sity when planning the calendar.
The holiday schedule for University staff is
made to fit within the restrictions set forth for
state employees. Carlton James, personnel di
rector, is in charge of planning the 11 paid holi
days. Those holidays must also include Martin
Luther King Jr. Day.
James said his main concern when planning
the calendar is its feasibility and workability
with the local community.
‘The University is a big working community
outside the academic world.” James said. "We
try to work the schedule for the employees
around the academic calendar as much as pos
sible.”
James said that any time classes are in ses
sion, it is necessary to have the University em
ployees working in a supporting role.
FUNDS
From page 1
affinity credit-card program, unre
stricted fund earnings and inter
nally generated revenue. Using the
$13,885 million in revenue and the
$5,339 expenses, the cost-to-rev-
enue for 1989 was 38.4 percent.
T think for University fund
raising, 25 percent is a safe max
imum,” Cutlip said.
Robert Scully, Greensboro Col
lege vice president for Institutional
Advancement, gave a higher max
imum than Cutlip, but agreed the
foundation figures were high.
"Every institution is different
depending on the program and
state support,” Scully said. “I
would stay below 30 percent.”
Cutlip said the entertainment
expense was “out of the ballpark.”
But Knapp said he is satisfied
with the foundation’s cost-to-rev-
enue ratio.
University Accounting Division
Director Hubert Parker said the
entertainment expenses did seem
high at first glance. But because so
many expenses are categorized as
entertainment, the figure isn’t un
reasonable.
“Entertainment has a bad con
notation,” Parker said. “We ought
to call it program development.
That entertainment expense in
cludes things like taking new fac
ulty members to dinner to recruit
them.”
Parker said the foundation hosts
fund-raising dinners and banquets
where guests pay for their tickets.
An example would be the
Founder’s Day Dinner. The cost of
the dinner, he said, is listed as an
entertainment expense, while the
revenue is listed under “internally
generated revenue.”
According to its records, in fiscal
1989 the foundation internally
generated $47,608.
Knapp said foundation expenses
are dictated by an annual budget,
which is approved by the 60-
member Foundation Board of
Trustees. State laws and the Uni
versity System Board of Regents’
policies dictate what expenses can
be paid with state funds or must be
paid through foundation funds.
‘The Board of Trustees has a
legal and fiduciary responsibility
to the foundation,” Knapp said.
“They, I should say we, are gov
erned by the foundation’s constitu
tion and by-laws.”
Knapp serves as chairman ex-of
ficio of the board. He said he is re
sponsible for the day-to-day
management of the its budget, but
must answer to the board at its
quarterly meetings. If the board is
unhappy with Knapp’s manage
ment of the funds, Knapp said it
may withhold money from him and
the University.
Spokesmen for the Board of
Trustees support Knapp and the
spending levels.
Board of Trustees Chair John
Bailey said everything is going
well.
‘1 know of no one, as far as the
foundation is concerned, who is un
happy with the way the founda
tion’s funds are being administered
by Dr. Knapp,” he said.
Paul Miller, Council for Finan
cial Aid to Education information
director, offered a different per
spective.
“Accountability to alumni is the
principal concern,” he said.
“Alumni deserve to know that their
money is going to legitimate sup
port.”
