Brownback backs Kansas engineering initiatives in 2011 session
Gov. Sam Brownback voiced support for bills to boost Kansas engineering graduates. One measure would allocate 10.5 million dollars yearly from gambling revenues to KU, KSU, and Wichita State, starting 2013 for ten years with nonstate matching funds, and routed via the Department of Commerce to emphasize job creation. Another bill would authorize KU to issue 65 million dollars in bonds for a 100000 square foot engineering building beside a 34600 square foot lab. The goal is to raise annual engineering graduates from 875 to 1365 by 2021.
