KU Officials Refuse Comment on Docking Remarks
Kansas University officials decline to comment on remarks attributed to Gov. Docking in a student paper story. Docking suggested eliminating certain courses including silversmithing and ballroom dancing, while KU officials and Chancellor Murphy offered few replies as the governor’s budget message proposed a 5 percent pay raise for state schools with funds allocated to the Board of Regents to distribute. Carl Smith, department head, defended the silversmithing program as one of three in the U.S. offering bachelor and master degrees, noting about 250 students are enrolled and the jewelry field remains economically vital.
