As state lawmakers head back to Jefferson City in January to begin a four-month session, they'll be looking at a report by the Missouri Department of Higher Education that paints a dire picture of funding for colleges and universities around the state. The report says that nearly $1.5 billion is needed for repair and demolition projects at Missouri institutions, pointing out everything from leaky roofs to outdated and unusable buildings. The report goes through every publicly-funded college and university in the state, both two-and-four year schools, with varying degrees of needs. https://www.ky3.com/content/news/Report-says-Missouris-colleges-and-universities-facing-deteriorating-buildings-due-to-budget-shortfalls-502112841.html
