Kansas students seek to protect higher ed funding in court
The Students' Advisory Committee within the Kansas Board of Regents asks the state Supreme Court for permission to file a friend of the court brief in a K-12 funding lawsuit. They argue Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution requires adequate funding for all educational interests, including public universities, not just K-12. Kansas State University student body president Jack Ayres notes rising costs as state support for higher education has declined in recent years.
