Kansas moves to restructure higher education
A Kansas House panel proposes a plan costing nearly 138 million dollars over four years to reform higher education. It would replace the nine member Board of Regents with an 11 member Kansas Council of Higher Education governing state universities and coordinating community colleges and vocational schools. The plan aims to raise faculty salaries to peer levels, fund property tax relief for community college constituents, and place Washburn University under the new council. The committee will hold a public briefing at Nichols Hall on Friday. Lawmakers voice skepticism but also interest due to Speaker Shallenburger's support.
