Kansas Mega Millions winner remains unknown
Kansas law allows winners to remain anonymous...though I'm guessing it will be hard to keep $250 million secret from your neighbors.

Heard on the Hill: University Senate considering boycotting publisher Elsevier; newspaper readership program popular at other places, too; KUMC researcher mentioned in LA Times story on Alzheimer's
They bemoan subscription costs, but are ok with paying $85 for a CD with a .pdf file for a 'textbook'? Or if their lucky, a printed 'text' in Saran wrap that's already had the holes punched in it?
Talk about clueless.

Several regents question funding proposals, including request for new building at KU School of Medicine
Meh...just raise tuition 10 percent this year, keep selling CDs with books in .pdf format for $90, and raise property taxes.
That will show those pesky middle-class people that THE UNIVERSITY is what matters.

Police escort White Owl from KU campus on first day of classes
The Univer$ity steals from the students and the people of Kansas daily and nothing is being done about that. What's the big deal?

Graduate and professional students take a hit in federal budget compromise
Funny - you hit the nail on the head, then make an idiot of yourself by trying to blame one specific group of people.
The cost of education has nothing to do with the Tea Party. Your solution is to get more money to pay for these rip-off institutions, instead of looking at the facts:
Tuition at state universities in Kansas has risen 400 percent above inflation since 1980. While every other business is cutting the fat and becoming more streamlined the Education Industry simply raises tuition to suck more out of the middle class.
The fact that you are just now 'suspecting' that the next debt crisis is student loans is laudible...but anyone paying attention realized that years ago. The students will default and their parents who co-signed will be saddled with another mortgage payment...emptying their retirement savings in order to 'do what is right.'
I'm personally paying $650 a month in student loans and my daughter is paying $500. That's $1150 a month that isn't going into the economy to buy goods and services. It's going to pay for fat, over-bloated, and inefficient bureaucracy at a tidy 7.9 percent interest rate that is non-deductible because - as middle class - we 'make too much money.'
All the while the self-proclaimed 'Educational Elite' are laughing all the way to bank...with their books on CDs that they're selling for $75 each.
Education is a rip-off and it needs reform more than healthcare. The answer isn't more subsidy from government - it's to re-shape and streamline education.

Graduate and professional students take a hit in federal budget compromise
The only thing Scam$us Univer$ity can do in times like these is raise tuition!
Seriously - bunch of whiny people trying to get an education complaining about the fact that they can't borrow mortgage-level money to get a worthless degree that will never pay for itself.
Hilarious. We all know that the middle class has WAY too much money laying around right now. If they haven't emptied their 401k yet then there's still room for higher tuition.
You all should be honored that Scam$us will even accept your paultry offerings. We all know that a degree in English from that fine enterprise is worth at least $200k - $300k. At $80k+ it's a bargain.
Stop complaining and get four or five jobs. Who needs sleep anyway?
