Kansas was expected to tighten welfare regulations to prevent too many non-eligibile recipients from adding to rising costs.

The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools completed a report on Kansas University with the conslusion that the state was getting far more from the school than the funding level deserved. The report was critical of the KU salary schedule and said it was much lower than it should be.
