Regents approve higher housing and dining rates for universities
Kansas Board of Regents approved new housing and dining increases, with some members objecting that the hikes outpace inflation. KU’s typical double occupancy room and board rises 5.1 percent or $328 annually. Regents also consider returning admissions standards to the board and funded new buildings for KU Edwards Campus and KU Medical Center using Johnson County tax revenue.
