Drones program gains funding while dentistry school is cut
The House Appropriations Committee eyed 24 million over two years for the Salina unmanned aerial systems program, including leasing a 70 000 square foot hangar, while rejecting funding for Gov Brownback's proposed dentistry school at KU Medical Center. Rep. Claeys touted the UAS program as second in the nation and expanding enrollment, noting current space is a garage and emphasizing competition for growth in the sector. KU Medical Center did not request the money, and lawmakers questioned the proposal's priority and origins, with the Educational Building Fund set to cover the 800 000 per year earmarked for the dentistry school. The governor defended the effort, citing underserved counties and the need to diversify Kansas higher education.
