- Energy program is smart investment
- August 6, 2011
- The Efficiency Kansas home energy audit program is exactly the sort of public-private partnership that we should be pursuing as we look for ways to improve the economy in our state. It is not a handout. It is not an expansion of big government. Efficiency Kansas is a smart way to create jobs and promote small business while improving the lives, homes and limited budgets of Kansans across the state.
- Science takes a beating in early presidential campaign
- July 19, 2011
- It is not encouraging that some candidates in the Republican presidential sweepstakes are using scientific knowledge as political footballs. Actually, not all scientific knowledge — just the kind they find uncomfortable or unpopular, which they blithely dismiss.
- Domestic violence has lasting impact
- May 5, 2011
- Part of my teaching load includes a graduate course on ethics. Each term, I ask students to write a paper on the people and events instrumental in the formation of their ethical values. You might be surprised how often I read episodes of domestic violence. I am.

- Mental heath care takes turn for worse
- January 29, 2011

- Fee benefits students, business dean says
- July 28, 2010

- KU business school’s use of fees questioned
- July 26, 2010
- The Kansas University School of Business has collected more than $31 million over the last six years in differential tuition funds, and on an annual basis, this revenue source accounts for 40 percent of the school’s operating budget. Over the last five months, students have begun asking questions as to how these funds have been spent and, in a search for answers, have met with administrators at every level of the university. Multiple requests for budgets and an accounting of differential tuition have been submitted and while documents have been exchanged there are still far more questions then answers.

- July 24, 2010
- Higher education institutions have been taking it on the chin lately. The daily, behind-the-scenes work faculty, staff and administrators are doing at Kansas University and the associated benefits provided to this state have been drowned out. Because both of us serve on the KU School of Engineering Advisory Board, we’re in a unique position to see first hand the projects, plans and strategies this important segment of the university has under way and the benefits these efforts generate. Here are a few of the specific highlights.
- County group tried to pursue compromise on warehouse plan
- July 14, 2010
- The Journal-World’s July 5 editorial regarding the conflict between the owners of property near the Kansas Turnpike’s Lecompton Interchange and the need “to clear the path for a new Berry Plastics warehouse” is off the mark in at least one important aspect. You say, “The larger threat appears to be two lawsuits filed by neighbors who have concerns about how an industrial property will fit in with the rural area surrounding the site.”
