Lawmakers move to restrict University of Kansas from spending certain funds - BRYAN LOWRY, Wichita Eagle

Kansas lawmakers struck back at the University of Kansas on Thursday by adding a provision to the state’s budget to restrict the university from spending certain money. The provision is a response to the university decision to circumvent the Legislature’s authority last month when it issued $326.9 million in bonds. KU relied on a Wisconsin agency to carry out the January bond deal – instead of the Kansas Development Finance Authority – as a way to avoid the need for legislative approval on the bonds. http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article58515218.html
