Digging into KU faculty salaries

You can live very well in Lawrence on $60k-80k or more.....
I guarantee you will not be able to live the same standard with same discretionary income in Boulder. In fact, unless you are the $100k-200k ones in Boulder....you will be living in one of the Boulder suburb cities and commuting...Broomfield, Longmont etc. etc.

Governor's bill on third-grade reading standards raises eyebrows

I have the best idea....how about parents read to their children as they grow up and actually instill the desire in them to want to learn to read.....end of story.

City agrees to create cultural district surrounding downtown

What is a "cultural district" exactly and how is one achieved?
More art galleries? fewer bars? or are bars considered cultural bohemian hangouts?
And the goal is to "maintain the current unique cultural and social-economic mixture"...
so we have some cultural aspects already it seems (not enough or right kind?).....
Seems somebody sold someone(s) a pretty vague idea.....can't wait.

Statehouse Live: Budget subcommittee cuts KU Med Center proposal, recommends audit of KU

"...and he said the school needs to do more to make sure students graduate in four years...."

It's freaking sad that students can't seem to make it through in four years. I sure had no trouble double majoring and getting through in four years. There was no Fall Break or whatever its called as well 20 years ago (it started in 2001 FWIW). I'm positive that requirements to graduate have not gotten tougher either (probably easier)....so what's the problem with students exactly that makes this such an issue? The comment by Arpke could lead to interpretation that diluting what value a degree from KU has would be just fine. Get 'em in and get 'em out...repeat...

Kansas City man arrested Sunday morning in Lawrence on gun charge

You are assuming he was "allowed" the gun by someone of authority? Guns are easily passed around like cigarettes. The gun was taken away...

Kansas City man arrested Sunday morning in Lawrence on gun charge

uh no it's not....explain your logic....doesn't say anyone was actually threatened or shot by this guy. A citizen escalating the incident is not what is needed in this type of situation. It was reported and handled.
