KU Medical Center under the budget knife; committee removes $10 million for health education building - Scott Rothschild, Lawrence Journal-World

A Senate committee Monday cut $10 million that was proposed in the Kansas University budget to help start construction of a $75 million health education building at KU Medical Center. Gov. Sam Brownback put the $10 million in his two-year budget proposal, but the governor’s fellow Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee removed the funding. Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina, led the charge, expressing displeasure with tuition increases at KU. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2013/feb/18/ku-medical-center-under-budget-knife-committee-rem/
