Regents indicated that they would likely be recommending to the state an increase in funding for the Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius line-item vetoed an increase of $2.9 million to the Wichita program for training doctors, which involves KU and two Wichita hospitals, and asked regents to look at the problems facing the agency.

Reggie Robinson, regents president and CEO, said he, other regents and key players from the Wichita program, met recently in Wichita, and following that meeting, that the regents would likely be recommending a short-term increase in funding while they work on a long-term solution for issues facing the program.
