Tuition hikes reshape Kansas state universities funding
In 1994 Kansas residents could attend any state university for under 768 a semester. Tuition has more than doubled at KU and KState, with almost half the rise in the last two years. State funding cuts in 2002 and 2003 pushed universities to raise tuition to stay competitive and attract quality faculty amid financial constraints. A 2003 study said public higher ed funding in Kansas lagged 1990 levels, needing about 197.4 million more to catch up.
