He also stated that his assistant director went up to Reno to sit in at the Regents meeting and brought up some issues that should be of concern to students: the Department of Leisure Studies has moved from the Department of Urban Affairs to the College of Hotel Administration which saves about $2500.00 because the dean of Leisure Studies will no longer be needed at this point; the Chancellor, Richard Jarvis, for the university system has now become the highest paid public employee in the state of Nevada with a raise to $195,000.00 a year and REGENT ROSENBERG stated that salaries are getting out of control, so this money needs to be spent on students, not on $195,000.00 salaries; a policy passed in which Student Government spending and operating policies cannot supersede Nevada State Law or the Board of Regents operating policies and he believes that this is absolutely significant because this puts us under tighter control of the Board of Regents and it is a challenge to our autonomy.
