Budget warning clouds Kansas higher education plan
Budget Director Duane Goossen warned Kansas Board of Regents officials that anticipated funding for state universities may be at risk amid tax cuts and a tight general fund. The plan promised $8.4 million in FY 2001 and $5.6 million in FY 2002 for faculty salaries, but overall funding pressures could force cuts in other areas even if the $8.4 million is delivered. The Regents approved a budget blueprint seeking 8.5 percent salary increases for unclassified staff, 3.5 percent operating funds, and library funding, financed partly by a new student fee.

Who are these children They are tomorrow
Leonard Pitts argues that the Conyers high school shooting reflects a broader pattern of child entitlement and lax accountability. He blames easy excuses, fragile self esteem, and parental leniency for producing youths unprepared to face life’s hardships. He urges tougher guidance from adults to raise resilient, responsible tomorrow.
