Budget subcommittee cuts KU Med Center proposal, recommends audit of KU - SCOTT ROTHSCHILD, The Lawrence Journal-World

A Senate budget subcommittee on Tuesday recommended a $10 million cut in Kansas University’s proposed budget and a sweeping audit of the school. And one member of the subcommittee, Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, said she had concerns about student leaders from public universities who were “regurgitating” talking points given them by the Kansas Board of Regents. The students were in the Statehouse on Monday to talk with legislators about higher education issues. Tyson said in her conversation with the students, they brought up the regents’ position in favor of in-state tuition for the children of some undocumented workers, as well as opposition to concealed carry of guns on campuses. http://www.kckansan.com/2013/02/budget-subcommittee-cuts-ku-med-center.html
