Police have not confirmed if the Dec 18 runaway at McCarthy Hall is the same person as the rape victim. Five witnesses are KU EU men’s basketball players from 2016-17, with three other people named in the investigation including a KU Athletics administrator and two 19-year-old women. A sixth basketball player appears in the runaway report. The department notes that witnesses may not be crime eyewitnesses. The public log addition followed a Journal-World report on Jan 24. Bragg Jr., a KU basketball player, faced drug paraphernalia charges Jan 30 and received diversion Feb 1, then left KU amid team rule suspensions and later planned to transfer to Arizona State. The drug charge was separated from the sexual assault case, which involves rape, contributing to a child misconduct, and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Classes end Friday.

Democratic Sen. Tom Holland and Sen. Anthony Hensley opposed the bill saying it fails to balance the state budget and fund a pending school finance plan. Francisco and Hawk supported the measure, joined by 16 Republicans, while 7 Democrats and 15 Republicans voted no. Senators debated leverage for negotiating an adequate plan, with leaders noting the bill would not fund the house plan and could require separate tax action. The proposal would reverse recent tax cuts and raise rates to about 514 million this year, but would still fall short of paying for the five year school funding proposal.
