Regents split on statewide property tax for buildings
The Kansas Board of Regents debated a statewide property tax increase to fund university building construction. Regents Harman and Slawson clashed over the political risk of doubling the Educational Building Fund mill levy to two mills, while university leaders including KU Chancellor Gene Budig supported the idea. A proposal is not imminent, with exec director Koplik noting it remains at least a year away, and Slawson warning against tax rises ahead of the 1992 elections.
