KU links: Retired prof discusses tornado safety; business dean in state Chamber video
Deans are paid to "think it through." Dean Bendapudi has wittingly or unwittingly given her imprimatur to forces that exist only to exploit ignorance in this state. Very disappointing, especially from a dean who seemed to be hitting the right notes when she came on board at KU.

Brownback proposes using bioscience funds to pay for adult stem cell center at KU
No matter what you think of him, Brownback is not inept. He has an agenda and he has been very calculating in advancing it.

Roberts, Moran vote against expanded background checks in gun sales
Driver's license, vehicle insurance, and vehicle registration are seriously eroding my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We need to abolish these things forthwith.

KU outlines significant cuts if Legislature cuts higher education funding
All this breast beating about cuts, reduction of students, faculty, and programs sounds like an attempt at coercion. But the legislature doesn't care if these Draconian measures are enacted. In fact, I suspect most legislators would be happy to see it. I wish KU would talk about creating new revenue streams. Sure, some cuts may be required, but I see no sign that KU is exploring ways to generate additional revenue. Again, it seems to be a circle-the-wagons mentality at work.

KU spring enrollment dips; officials hope for turnaround in autumn
The traditional 18-22 year old undergraduate market is shrinking. Check the census figures. And JCCC will do just fine because, as you point out, it complements its associate degree programs with other kinds of training for a broader, nontraditional audience.

KU spring enrollment dips; officials hope for turnaround in autumn
JCCC is undergraduate education. That's a shrinking market. FHSU's enrollments are heavily bolstered by Chinese students who study online and offshore. In fact, they help subsidize the western Kansas students who study on campus.

KU spring enrollment dips; officials hope for turnaround in autumn
But the quality arguably is not higher. For example, see the dumbing down of the LAS degree (i.e., no Western Civ requirement) and the commoditizing inherent in the new "core" curriculum.
