Lawmaker proposes new funding system for Kansas colleges
Rep. Richard Reinhardt proposes scrapping the current funding mix for Kansas community colleges in favor of state operating grants equal to 60 percent of freshmen and sophomore costs at six state universities. The plan would cost 43 million dollars in new funding, eliminate out-district tuition, and cut property tax mill levies in counties supporting colleges. A 2 percent annual performance clawback would apply if colleges fail performance measures.
