KU leaders disappointed university won’t see restoration of $7.4M cuts under Brownback’s budget plan - Joanna Hlavacek, LJ World

In August 2016, Brownback signed a bill calling for $24 million in funding cuts to Kansas public universities, with the state’s largest — KU and Kansas State University — taking the biggest hits. K-State saw its funding slashed by about $5.2 million, while KU’s Lawrence campus took about $7 million in cuts. The KU Medical Center was also targeted for a $3.7 million cut, resulting in a reduction of $10.7 million across the entire KU system. Legislators last year restored about $3.3 million of that total, but KU leaders are still hoping to regain the full amount they lost back in 2016. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2018/jan/11/ku-leaders-disappointed-university-wont-see-restor/
