Departing assistant superintendent to work for Fort Hays State
Do you expect the same for Sherriene Sontag-Jones who moved from spokesperson for the Kansas Speaker to spokesperson for the Governor and most recently to the Kansas Lottery? Do you question the bonus received when working for the Speaker or that her husband is a major political supporter of the Governor?

You also really need to learn how to construct a sentence. While you're at it, stop using hispanic colloquialisms in really insulting ways.

Amid budget cuts to higher education, KU gets funding for adult stem cell center
Really folks. Even if this is the best idea ever, do you realize how little life science research $1M buys? The money should be politely returned not because of ideology, but because it is absolutely wasted. Think being told to drive to Denver and given $1 for gas. You can spend it, but it's not going to get you anywhere close to where you want to be.

New report finds city's broadband market sub-par
With the sale of Sunflower to Knology, Lawrence went from a technology leader to a profit center for a large company. Knology and now WOW must be making fortune on Lawrence. No upgrades to infrastructure, no upgrades to in-home equipment, renting horrifically old equipment, no access to services like Watch ESPN, etc. Shame on you WOW.

City approves development agreement, tax abatement for $25M Rock Chalk Park recreation center
There's one big purple reason why KU would not open an athletics facility that's not in close proximity to campus. It opens the door for K-State to do the same and that would eat into KU's market.

KU not spooked by MOOCs: Officials say they're watching free online course trend, but not acting yet
In sincerely hope you are wrong. The 6 year graduation rate for KU is roughly 64%, not a statistic that KU is happy with. The 6 year graduation rate for University of Phoenix - the flagship of for-profit, online education - is less than 30%. Most online Universities are lower than that.

KU not spooked by MOOCs: Officials say they're watching free online course trend, but not acting yet
An interesting read, but it is an opinion piece with one major flaw. The author claims that the Internet has redefined industries that sell information. Universities don't sell information - they sell certification. The difference is subtle but important. This is not to say that Universities don't need to change, but what will really change is the textbook industry and providers of support materials for the education sector.

Lawrence-based software development firm seeking incentives to create new jobs; also has expressed interest in possible site at former Farmland Industries location
They develop software and the average salary for a computer science student right out of school with a BS is $65K. Might be a great place to work otherwise and there may be more to their compensation package, but on the surface they don't pay that well.

Regulations adopted to implement higher admission standards at KU in 2016
Don't be silly. You can't go live in a prison, play basketball in Allen, or argue a case in a Kansas court either. You've supported all of those things with your taxes. You're not qualified (thankfully in the first case).
