Former Marine seeks correction to 2015 Kansas in-state tuition law
Retired Lt Col Evan Holt, a Kansas native, discovered a drafting error in a 2015 tuition bill that wrongly excluded veterans like him from in-state rates. He moved back to Kansas after 21 years in the Marine Corps and faced out-of-state tuition for his daughter at KU. The Kansas Board of Regents backs a fix via House Bill 2567 to apply retroactively to fall 2015, restoring eligibility for affected veterans and families.
