‘Life ring’ or ‘anvil’? Morehead State, KSU say new funding formula could drown them. - LINDA BLACKFORD, Herald-Leader

Currently, the formula is based on the number of those degrees, rather than percentages, which naturally rewards larger schools over smaller ones. Morehead and Kentucky State have the smallest student bodies in the state. So while they got zero, along with Big Sandy, Hazard, Henderson and Southeast community colleges, go nothing, the University of Kentucky received $9.1 million. “I think everyone knew this was going to happen,” said Morehead State President Jay Morgan. “I think the model needs to be reviewed sooner rather than later. I want Morehead to compete, I just want to compete against ourselves, not against the big boy down the road. It’s hard for a small rural school.” https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/education/article214623655.html
