There’s a lot for the governor and state legislators to like in the university requests. They are proposals that build the prestige of the state’s universities while also making solid connections to the Kansas economy. Looking at these requests, it’s easy to see how directly higher education benefits the state. Hopefully, state officials will make that connection and make the universities’ top funding priorities a top priority for the state.
