Regents plan signals hard budget year for Kansas lawmakers
Editorial notes that plans by the Kansas Board of Regents to address budget gaps reflect a tense climate for the 2002 Legislature. It highlights a 1999 Higher Education Coordination Act expanding oversight and funding, with costs now pegged at about 130 million through 2004. The plan seeks to cut 13.9 million in performance grants while prioritizing faculty salaries and community college operating funds, warning that 2002 will avoid tax relief and likely require spending cuts across state government.
