Still awaiting their most recent round of budget cuts, Kansas University administrators told an audience Wednesday to continue to expect difficult cuts in the future. Having already eliminated 200 positions — some of which came through layoffs — KU now faces another cut from the state, along with grim projections continuing through 2011. Kip Peterson, a spokesman for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the board will determine during its Dec. 16-17 meeting how much each institution will have to absorb of the recently announced $2 million higher education cut. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the cuts have far-reaching implications, and have affected the university’s pursuit of National Cancer Institute designation.
