Misdirected funds

To the editor:

I’ve held off too long. The latest news is the last straw.

“The Museum of Anthropology, a Kansas Geological Survey department and a team that removes asbestos will be eliminated. A total of 22 filled and 32 unfilled positions also will be cut.”

But, as I understand it, KU has a million dollars committed to the new entrance to campus at 15th and Iowa! I know that’s a grant, donation, whatever, but surely the powers that be could’ve convinced the donors the money could’ve been used for more justifiable purposes.
