KU pivots to bigger stage as stadium upgrades unfold
Kansas Athletics unveils a broad campaign to raise facilities and revenue, citing football recruiting needs and a national presence. Enhancements to Memorial Stadium begin after 2018 with south end zone and west side work, plus later north end zone and east side upgrades. A new Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena is funded by a $10 million gift, replacing the old facility, with completion targeted before the 2018 volleyball season. The donor drive includes other major gifts and an Adidas apparel agreement extension worth about $191 million over 14 years to support campus renovations.

DeVos Replaces Single Standard With Two for Campus Assaults
Education Secretary DeVos rolls back Obama era rules by allowing colleges to choose between a preponderance of evidence and a clear and convincing standard in evaluating sex assault claims. The interim guidelines aim to curb sexual misconduct while giving schools flexibility as the department seeks public comment. Women's rights groups criticize the move as discouraging reporting and empowering institutions to sidestep accountability.

Kansas rooftop solar rule prompts new rate case filing
Westar plans a rate case early next year to place rooftop solar and other distributed generation DG customers in a separate residential class. Spokeswoman Gina Penzig notes 80 percent of costs are fixed, while bills reflect 10 to 20 percent fixed costs, making rooftop generation customers lowers bills without reducing utility costs. Renewable advocates condemn the ruling as based on utility data and fear harm to the residential solar industry in Kansas, urging independent study. Kansas law now allows Westar to charge DG system owners after Oct 28 2015, with other utilities also facing new fees for post order installations. The Climate and Energy Project and Cromwell Solar warn of reduced energy independence and a throttled free market. The Kansas Corporation Commission opened a general investigation in 2016 to study DG rate structure, but declined an independent third party study. The commission issued an order allowing DG rate design as proposed by Westar and similar fees for new DG customers.
