Why we students are worried about proposed KU budget cuts - RUBEN FLORES, Kansas City Star

The university’s chancellor and interim provost have asked the faculty, staff and students to absorb a 6 percent cut in KU’s budget, which equals $20 million per year. The cut is immense, and for that reason, the University Senate has asked the chancellor and provost to reduce the budget cuts to both the academic and service units by half. A $10 million drop in resources will also hurt, but it is much less than the proposed 6 percent cut. These cuts are damaging our institution, and we are asking questions of the chancellor. We would like to know why the faculty, staff and students must shoulder the cuts alone, and why he will not ask the university’s partners to help. We would like the statewide KU community to ask him, too. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/community/joco-913/joco-opinion/article225212905.html
