A feeling of relief settled in the packed meeting room after the vote, but several board members and observers said the debate was far from finished. "I'm really gratified that this chapter is over," said John Staver, a Kansas State University professor and co-chairman of the 27-member committee of science educators who wrote the new standards. But, he said, "the book is not closed." Businessman Dave Raffel of Shawnee, an evolution supporter, said, "This is one step down along a long road that there doesn't seem to be any end to." Critics of the board's vote said the Kansas debate had opened a floodgate that couldn't be closed.

Admission Kansas Residency KANSAS RESIDENCY FOR TUITION PURPOSES Qualifying for Kansas residency for tuition purposes at state universities is frequently misunderstood. Students from out-of-state can be misled into thinking they can establish Kansas residency when, in fact, it is extremely difficult to do while they are students. The pertinent laws and regulations are quoted in this document and are in italics type. Abbreviations used: K.S.A. stands for Kansas Statutes Annotated, and K.A.R. stands for Kansas Administrative Regulation. INSTRUCTIONS for filling out the Application for Resident Classification (Completely read Rules and Regulations below prior to filling out the application) I've lived in Kansas over a year. Why do I have to fill out this long form? Qualifying as a resident for tuition purposes requires more than just being present in the state for a year. And a change in residence classification has significant financial ramifications. We have to be able to justify each change with the auditors. This form provides, in one place, all the information we need to make, and justify, an informed residency decision. It also gives us more current information than we usually have on other forms that you filled out weeks or months earlier, and it provides your signed (and notorized) affirmation that all the information provided on it is true. This form was developed with the attorney for the Kansas Board of Regents by representatives from all the state universities in Kansas, and all of the state universities use the same form.

Riley before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education and Related Agencies Regarding The Goals 2000: Educate America Act September 12, 1995 Washington, D.C. Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: I appreciate this opportunity to testify in support of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act . This hearing is taking place at a critical time, because education is more important to the Nation than ever before, and because we are starting to show important progress in education achievement and performance. SAT scores are up. Students are taking tougher courses and, as a result, math and science scores have gone up. But we still have a long way to go. Now is the time for those of us at the Federal level to do everything we can to help move education forward in this country. Supporting the continued implementation of Goals 2000 is one very important step. WHAT IS GOALS 2000?
