Kansas Regents salary raises spark questions on leadership
A Saturday column questions the Kansas Board of Regents decision to raise Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and other university leaders’ pay. It weighs whether the timing against faculty pay cuts is justified and if regents truly pick the best leaders for Kansas State University, Wichita, Fort Hays, Pittsburg, and Emporia. It ponders regents’ claims of private funding and whether Kansas taxpayers should expect better results and higher standards from the state’s higher education system.
