Internal Audit Office. This amount will be set at the level of $18,000 per year for five
years beginning with FY 1999 through FY 2004, at which time the amount and services
will be reevaluated by the Privilege Fee Committee and Student Governing Association
to determine if the service should continue or be eliminated.
The Kansas State University Internal Audit Office will dedicate approximately 1,000 hours
per year to conducting audits on the specified Privilege Fee receiving agencies for that year.
A Privilege Fee Agency will be defined as any agency that directly receives funding from
any campus privilege fee. The audits will be set on a standard routine schedule and
determined by the Privilege Fee Committee in conjunction with the Vice President of
Administration and Finance and the Director of the Office of Internal Audit. The order of
audits will be determined prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year.
The Kansas State University Office of Internal Audit will utilize the same practices and
processes to audit Privilege Fee Agencies as it would for any other university department or
organization. These audits will assess the soundness, adequacy and application of accounting,
financial, and other operating controls; determine adherence to Federal, State, University
29
laws and regulations and applicable sections of the Kansas State University Student
Governing Association constitution, by-laws and statutes; assess compliance with applicable
law, regulations and generally accepted accounting principles; ascertain whether program
results are consistent with established objectives; ascertain the adequacy of controls for
safeguarding University and Student Governing Association assets and funds from losses of
all kinds; and assist in the improvement of University operations by making constructive
suggestions and recommendations. In accordance with university policy, the Internal Audit
Office shall submit a working draft to the Privilege Fee agency. The agency will have an
opportunity to respond to any recommendations of the Internal Audit. In accordance with
university procedure, upon completion of the report it will be made available to the Kansas
Board of Regents, the appropriate university officials, the Privilege Fee Committee and the
Kansas State University Student Governing Association.
The Kansas State University Student Governing Association will provide, through the Office
of Student Activities and Services Privilege Budget, a total of $14,810 per year to fund the
various components of the Course Information Program which are: a graduate assistant;
student workers; surveys and processing data; the publication of the data; office space; office

survey revisions, shall be completed by the Course Information Program Committee; the
graduate assistant shall oversee the daily operation of the program including the coordination
of student volunteers, the compilation of data, and publication of that data. The Provost’s
Office and the Office of Educational Advancement shall serve in an advisory capacity to the
graduate assistant.
At the end of Spring 1999, the Joint Course Information Program Committee shall submit a
proposal for continuation of the Course Information Program to both the Faculty Senate and

This agreement supersedes any previous agreement made by Kansas State University
Student Senate and/or Kansas State University Student Governing Association with the
Kansas State University Office of Student Activities and Services regarding funding of
budgets and use of such funding.
13.
Any breach of this agreement by the DEPARTMENT will result in automatic review by
Kansas State University Student Senate and such review could result in decrease or
termination of funding of the BUDGET. The failure of SENATE to exercise any of its
rights in any instance shall not constitute a waiver of such rights in that instance or in any
other instance.
Within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year, the Director of the DEPARTMENT shall
submit a written summary of BUDGET expenditures to the Privilege Fee Chair for
review by the entire Senate body.
14.

3.
Any breach of this agreement by the DEPARTMENT will result in automatic

Chair for review by the entire Senate Body.

SUPPORT FOR STATE MATCHING
FUNDING FOR KSU LIBRARIES
Privilege Fee Committee and Government Relations Committee
SUMMARY: This resolution shows SGA support for increased library funding by means of
state-student matching grant. Student support of this resolution will help
University administration in securing additional financial support from the State.
WHEREAS current library acquisition funding made available by the university and the State
is insufficient to provide for the maintenance of resources at the current levels, or
the purchase of periodicals, journals, other research materials, and general use
publications; and
WHEREAS the annual increases in publication costs associated with the purchase of
periodicals, journals, other research materials, and general use publications has
exceeded the current financial capabilities of Kansas State University; and
WHEREAS an increase in tuition could be earmarked for KSU Libraries; and
WHEREAS the Kansas State University Student Governing Association understands the
funding needs of KSU Libraries and is committed to assisting them; and
WHEREAS the Kansas State University Student Governing Association believes privilege
fees are not the best funding source for KSU Libraries; and
WHEREAS a state-student matching grant would generate more funding for the library than a
privilege fee alone would,
BE IT ENACTED THAT:
SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association supports exploring a
state-student matching grant for the specific purpose of funding the K.S.U.
Libraries.
SECTION 2. Continuation of the state-student matching grant program should be contingent
upon continued library funding from the Foundation, Library Endowments, and
Sponsored Research Overhead.
SECTION 3. A copy of this resolution be presented to University President Jon Wefald,
University Provost James Coffman, Dean of Libraries Brice Hobrock, Vice
President for Administration and Finance Tom Rawson, Vice President for
Institutional Advancement Robert Krause, Associate Vice President for
Administration and Finance Tom Schellhardt, and Faculty Senate President Talat

whether to proceed with the charge. If the Reporter chooses to proceed, the Case Investigators
notify the Director of the Reporter’s decision as well as their own recommendation as to whether
a Hearing Panel should be appointed. If the Reporter chooses not to proceed, the Director
informs the Honor Council of that decision.

within five class days (ten days if classes are not in session). The Director appoints one member

ARTICLE IV. SANCTIONS
1. If a Hearing Panel determines that a violation of the Honor Pledge occurred, it recommends an
appropriate sanction that is imposed by the respective Dean(s). If a Hearing Panel determines
that no breach of academic honesty occurred, the Hearing Panel Chair reports that outcome to the
Director who informs the Alleged Violator and the Honor Council.
2. If a faculty member discovers a violation of the Honor Pledge, the faculty member may
impose a sanction without proceeding through the Honor System procedure. Faculty members
are urged to report violations of the Honor Pledge to the Director who maintains a permanent
record of violations. An accused student may choose to appeal the sanction by notifying the
Honor System Director. Faculty members must inform sanctioned students of their right to
appeal through the Appeal Panel process.
3. Normally a violation of the Honor Pledge will result in the violator receiving an XF for the
course. The XF grade designation is changed to an F on the student’s transcript after successfully
completing an ethics and integrity program, designed by the Director of the Honor System in
conjunction with the Provost and approved by the Honor Council.
4. The Hearing Panel may deviate from the XF grade sanction and consider any of the following:
A. Receive a failing grade for the test or other academic work.
B. Suspension from the University.
C. Expulsion from the University.
D. Other appropriate sanction.
ARTICLE V. APPEALS
1. Appeals are to be based on substantial new evidence or sufficient grounds for good cause.
2. Appeals based on substantial new evidence must be presented within one year from the date of
an Honor Panel decision.
3. Appeals based on either good cause or infringement on the rights of the accused student
because of procedural irregularities must be made within 15 days to the Director of the Honor
System.
4. Faculty members directly involved in the case may appeal the decision of the Hearing Panel
within 15 days of the decision.
5. The Director appoints a separate six-member Appeal Panel to consider the appeal. After
deliberation, the Appeal Panel reports their findings and recommendation to the Director who
forwards the Appeal Panel’s decision to the Honor Council. If the appeal is granted by the
Appeal Panel, the Director appoints Case Investigators prior to appointing a new Hearing Panel.
ARTICLE VI. ANNUAL REVIEW
1. The Honor Council annually reviews its procedures prior to the conclusion of the spring
semester.
2. The results of the review are presented to Student Senate, Faculty Senate and the Provost by
the beginning of the fall semester.
