is legislative autonomy. They gave it to them. They
|
|
2
|
evidently wanted them to have it, but if you are going
|
|

|
to have an executive budget system which the Governor is
|
|

|
initially responsible for, then I think any exemptions from

it are bad.

DR. JENKINS: Now, this autonomy is not the

kind, as I understand it, of mandatory provision that we

|
a right to expend its money after the appropriation is

made without unwarranted interference by other State

11
|
agencies. This fiscal autonomy does not provide that the

budget of a university must be accepted. I am defining

here fiscal autonomy in the sense of freedom to spend
|
|
14
|
funds after they are appropriated. Isn't that the
|
|
15
|
present situation?

MR. RENNIE: I don't know what it is in other

States. It's what it is with the University of Maryland,

It is not with you and not with the other State colleges,
|
|
19
|
and I say I think it is bad to have that autonomy. You
|
|
20
|
have autonomy with transfers in personnel. You have a
|
|
21
|
certain leeway with your faculties, but even then the
