Universities push for money under Brownback’s proposed budget - Courtney Ryan, KSNT

At a campus filled with more than 22,000 students, Kansas State University is still seeing the effects from the Governor’s four percent budget cuts. “We’re proud of what we have, it’s kind of a classic college experience right there in Manhattan Kansas,” said KSU President Richard Myers. In 2016, Governor Brownback cut $24 million in funding to Kansas public universities. The cut resulted in KSU losing about $7 million. “If the state support goes away, then tuition has to go up,” said Myers. He went on to explained the university raised tuition last year. “We did last year, I think it was just under three percent that we had to raise tuition.” http://ksnt.com/2018/01/17/universities-push-for-money-under-brownbacks-proposed-budget/
