Senate budget committee says ‘no’ to funding for new Med Center building - Jim McLean, KHI News Service

The chairman of the Kansas Senate’s budget writing committee today defended the panel’s recent decision to withhold state funding for a new classroom building at the University of Kansas Medical School. Sen. Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican, said he’s not convinced the university needs additional state funding to construct the building on its medical school campus in Kansas City, Kan. Masterson said KU has the resources to complete the project if it’s the priority that university officials say that it is. http://www.khi.org/news/2014/mar/12/senate-budget-committee-says-no-funding-new-med-ce/
