Failed vows, higher taxes on Kansas community colleges
Fifteen of Kansas' community colleges increased local property taxes this year and all 19 raised tuition or fees after the state reneged on promised support. Mill levies rose on average from 24.07 to 25.1 percent, a 4.28 percent jump, as colleges shift to a statewide mission amid budget crisis and reduced state per student funding. Ed Berger of Hutchinson CC defended the system while noting rising costs and stronger demand for services.
