Major Change In Governance Is Suggested
Kansas education leadership weighs upheaval as MPC urges a State Management Agency to govern all postsecondary schools. Jess Stewart warns federal HEW interpretations threaten regents and state control, fearing costly, top‑down reform across six universities and additional institutions. The plan proposes separate trustees for each campus and a new State Planning Agency under the Governor with Senate consent. Stewart cites cooperation among the six regents institutions as efficient and warns against eroding current funding. He notes potential federal funding risks and questions how governance would work with a single powerful agency over many schools.
