Parking and speeding tickets fall in Lawrence in 2010
Lawrence officials report a 14 percent drop in parking meter tickets in downtown and a continued drop in speeding tickets, with 5,312 speeding tickets issued in 2010 down from 8,071 in 2006. City Manager David Corliss cites reduced enforcement due to retirements and staff turnover as a key factor, though numbers may rise as staffing improves.

KU Enforces Early Math Courses for Incoming Students
Kansas University requires incoming students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to enroll in basic math classes early. If they fail to sign up by the first semester, KU will automatically place them in a math course until they complete algebra or pre calculus. The rule aims to reduce graduation barriers and is communicated via three notices and adviser discussions. Students may petition postponement for valid conflicts, but blanket delaying is generally not approved.
