Regents kill building bond plan
The Kansas Board of Regents rejected a $71 million bond plan for university construction projects including Murphy Hall and Spooner Hall renovations at KU and a new nursing education building at KU Medical Center. Critics warned of fiscal risk and political optics while exécutive opponents argued legality and planning gaps. Two traffic deaths in Reno County were reported alongside charges against Claudie L. Pritchard for aggravated vehicular homicide.
