Academic advising of student athletes at Kansas University was to be taken out of the hands of the athletic department under guidelines of a special committee’s study of academic standards and student athletes. The committee released its guidelines designed to clarify and strengthen academic standards for athletes. Del Shankel, former acting chancellor, supervised the review. Many of the new procedures were to be in place by the 1992-93 academic year. New Chancellor Gene Budig promised speedy adoption of the program.

In another month, most Lawrence Memorial Hospital employees except registered nurses were due to find their paychecks averaging 9 to 10 percent higher. The board of trustees approved the raises after a compensation study by an area consultant.
