College of Business unable to fully utilize new building due to budget cuts - Kaitlyn Alanis, KStateCollegian

Despite the appearance of a “big, expensive building” that was recently built for Kansas State’s College of Business Administration, the college is struggling to provide a stellar experience in its new home due to state cuts and a university callback. “People are like ‘oh you guys aren’t struggling’ (because of the building),” Eric Higgins, associate dean of the College of Business Administration, said. “Well we are when it comes to people and those salaries and that kind of thing because it’s all harder to raise money for. That’s the challenge that we have.” Higgins said that due to a cut and callback of about $700,000 total, the college has had to do “some rearranging” of staff. http://www.kstatecollegian.com/2016/10/11/college-of-business-unable-to-fully-utilize-new-building-due-to-budget-cuts/
