Kansas Senate votes to end athletic subsidy at KU
Kansas University's Student Senate voted to eliminate the 25 dollar per semester subsidy to the athletics department, a fund started in the late 1970s to support women's and non revenue sports and comply with Title IX. If Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little approves, future students would need a referendum to reinstate the fee. The fee funds women's and non revenue sports and faces opposition amid growing Athletics Inc. revenues.
