LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A proposal that would require all state universities to add a notation on a student’s transcript if the student is expelled for sexual violence has been dropped.

The Lawrence Journal-World members of a Kansas Board of Regents’ Governance Committee discussed the issue last month. Minutes from the meeting show that the committee decided not to pursue the policy. That meant the proposal never reached the full Board of Regents for a vote.

The minutes say that “currently no one is specifically interested in an across the board policy and believe that non-academic misconduct should be handled on a case-by-case basis.”

Students at several state schools initiated the transcript discussion. Last year, a council made up of leaders of the six state universities agreed they wanted a statewide requirement.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The top federal prosecutor in Kansas says a member of his staff will be on call to handle complaints about potential election fraud or violations of voters’ rights on Election Day.

Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said Monday that Assistant U.S. Attorney Leon Patton will be available by phone at 913-551-6730 on Nov. 8.

Beall said in a statement that his office will act “promptly and aggressively” on complaints. He said he does not expect any problems during voting.

Beall also noted that the FBI’s Kansas City office will have agents available to handle allegations of abuse with a toll-free hotline. It is 855-527-2847.

Beall also said questions about state or local issues can be directed to the Kansas secretary of state’s office at 800-262-8683.

WICHITA -One of three suspects accused in a domestic terror plot in southwest Kansas will be in federal court on Monday.

Curtis Allen, Patrick Stein and Gavin Wright are charged with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. They were arrested in what the government calls a foiled plot to attack an apartment complex home to Somali Muslims in Garden City on Nov. 9.  Allen is expected to be in court on Monday.

On Friday Gavin Wright waived a detention hearing and pleaded not guilty in what prosecutors say was a conspiracy by a militia group to detonate truck bombs at the apartment complex.

Wright’s decision means the 51-year-old from Liberal, remains in federal custody pending trial. Defense attorney Kari Schmidt told the court she and Wright have concerns about his safety if he’s released.

Patrick Stein also appeared in court on Friday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Gwynne Birzer ruled that Stein would remain in jail while he awaits trial. Birzer said Stein poses a “grave danger.”

Stein pleaded not guilty to conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Defense attorney Ed Robinson says his client was led by the government’s paid informant and an FBI undercover agent.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state education consultant says Kansas could benefit from addressing the impact of childhood trauma on students’ ability to learn.

Kent Reed, school counseling program consultant for the Kansas Department of Education, told the State Board of Education last week that stress from adverse childhood events can lead to lower test scores, language difficulties, behavioral issues and a greater likelihood of failing a grade.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports he said work groups have formed to study childhood trauma issues and they’ll make recommendations.

Board member Janet Waugh said one-third of children in the state’s juvenile justice system have some form of mental illness. She said training and treatment of adverse childhood events issues is needed, but it will “cost a lot of money.”

SALINE COUNTY – A Kansas man was injured in an accident just before 4p.m. on Sunday in Saline County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2006 Harley Davidson driven by Shawn A. Davis, 24, Ellsworth, was eastbound on the ramp from Interstate 70 to Interstate 135.

The motorcycle was going too fast for conditions. It left the roadway and the rider sustained injuries.

Davis was transported to the hospital in Salina.

He was not wearing a helmet, according to the KHP.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas Memorial Union is proposing a $45 million renovation, and asking for a fee increase.

Kansas students will vote this spring on whether to add the 30-year $50 per semester student fee to pay for the union renovations. Union leaders say the work is needed to upgrade aging mechanical systems and improve the union’s studying, dining and community spaces.

Lisa Kring, director of building and event services for the Memorial Union, said the building has nearly 2 million visitors a year.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports the Student Senate recommends most annual student fees on its own, but decided to put the union matter to a campus-wide referendum.

Student Body President Stephonn Alcorn says neither he nor the Student Senate has an official position on the proposal.

ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) — One person remains hospitalized a few days after a chemical spill sent a noxious chemical cloud over a northeast Kansas town.

The spill occurred Friday morning after two chemicals were inadvertently combined at the MGP Ingredients plant in Atchison. The chemical release created a chemical cloud over sections of Atchison and sparked evacuations.

Officials said dozens of people sought medical treatment Friday, largely for respiratory problems. Most had been treated and released by later Friday.

A spokeswoman for Atchison Hospital said Sunday that one person remains hospitalized in stable condition.

The Kansas City Star reports that the company said in a statement Saturday that MGP is working with regulatory agencies to “fully understand the cause and mitigate the chance of a similar incident occurring in the future.”
