Higher education spending key issue in Kansas budget talks - Kansas City Star

Proposed cuts in spending on higher education is a key issue for Kansas legislators as the House and Senate attempt to reconcile their differences on the state budget. Legislative leaders hoped negotiations would resume Monday on proposed budgets of roughly $14.5 billion for each of the next two fiscal years, beginning in July. Talks broke off Friday, delaying the end of lawmakers’ annual session. The two chambers disagree over funding for state universities, community colleges and technical colleges – and both are at odds with Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s recommendations. http://www.kansascity.com/2013/05/20/4245204/higher-education-spending-key.html
