Editorial casts doubt on Kansas university funding shifts
The Journal-World flags a Ways and Means plan shifting about 13.6 million from KU and KState over two years while boosting 2 million for the Kansas Comprehensive Grant. The grant would tilt 75 percent to private colleges, reducing aid for public university students by roughly 3.7 million, affecting about 1,050 students. A separate 236,000 cut to the Kansas Geological Survey may impede earthquake-related research.

Ferguson Is Not An Exception In Racial Justice Failings
Leonard Pitts Jr. argues the Ferguson case mirrors a national pattern of racially biased policing and unjust treatment. He cites DOJ findings, officer conduct, and multiple incidents across states to show systemic bias beyond a single town. The piece frames Ferguson as a symbol, not an outlier, in American policing.
