Kansas higher ed funding faces deficit and proposed rises
State lawmakers weigh the impact of a nearly 500 million budget gap as higher education funding has fallen 100 million in two years. The Kansas Board of Regents backs the Kansas Commitment proposal to boost next year spending by 50 million, including 20 million for a 2.73 percent inflation rise and 15.75 million to restore deferred maintenance. They also seek a coordinated program with KU Kansas State and Wichita State, requesting 14 million from the state and 7 million from universities to address engineering and medical workforce shortages.
