Flagstaff Police Department has a policy to pursue a vehicle only when the suspect is considered a continuing danger to the community. A supervisor must OK a vehicle pursuit and is held responsible if the decision causes damage or injuries.

Haeger sat down and spoke with The Lumberjack about how decisions are made, the pressure he has been put under, and how he has the university and students’ best interests in mind. With the final tuition decision looming in the near future, Haeger said he is under incredible pressure and hopes the Arizona Board of Regents will grant the 7 percent tuition increase he has proposed to them. “At this point in the game everything is out of my hands," Haeger said. “It is up to ABOR to decide whether to approve the tuition plan or not. If they don’t, we better hope the state legislature will make up the missing funds, but it is unlikely they will. They may not even give us the money we are hoping for from them.” The money Haeger is hop ing for will go towards the budget proposal for fiscal year 2007-08, which includes allocating more money toward faculty salaries, building mainte nance, the general running of the university and many other things. Both state appropri ations and tuition dollars make up this budget and any shortages could result in cutting classes and thinning the faculty. “We go through a very long process and use an ex tensive formula to figure out tuition needs, but it is based on the Higher Edu cation Price Index," Haeger said. “The HE PI is at 5 per cent, which means you are just getting by, so we found the barest minimum per centage inc rease to meet the needs of the university."

Miller said this all came about after a religious epiphany. “After God removed the scales from my eyes I saw' that modern science does not sup port Darwinism."
