Senate balks at seating change at KU arena
Kansas University student government leaders reacted after the athletics department shifted some prized seats in Allen Fieldhouse from students to donors. Section U behind the bench and near the tunnel gained donor seating as Section A. The move followed a spring vote to eliminate a $25 student fee that funded over $1 million for athletics. Chancellor Gray-Little restored the fee at $7 per semester, yielding about $350,000 annually. Associate AD Jim Marchiong explained the rationale.
