Brownback, Gray-Little say stable state funding important to KU's efforts to improve
If I were governor, and I saw unnecessary expenditures being made, like the $18 million to display the basketball rules or the $11 million to beautify Jayhawk Boulevard, it'd be hard for me to take budgetary panic seriously. In fact, I'd probably assume that the State had actually allocated TOO MANY of its taxpayers' dollars, in which case I'd propose further tax and budget cuts to offset each unnecessary expenditure that I saw. Thereafter, I'd entertain an appeal for additional tax dollars only if and when it appeared to me that tough choices between academic priorities were being made. (And it wouldn't make any difference to me if some of the funds allocated to unnecessary expenditures came from athletic revenues -- I'd expect to see those funds being used first and foremost in the classroom). I'd expect expenditures non-essential to the academic mission to be covered entirely by private (e.g. Endowment) funds, donated voluntarily for those purposes.

KU professor appearing on national TV tonight, days after being featured by Journal-World (these things likely unrelated)
Brian Russel's a psychologist who teaches at KU and he's on tv all the time on shows that people actually watch. Must not be any press releases about that, maybe because he's not liberal.

Downtown cameras demand strict limits
This author is quick to intrude upon the privacy of his neighbors, demanding that they maintain their private areas according to his personal preferences, so his objection to simply being observed in public seems rather hypocritical.
