Simons' Saturday Column: Lawrence has lost growth, economic momentum
We'd have to look at the comprehensive plan, H2020. My guess is we outgrew the plan faster than anticipated.

Contentious issue of lighted tennis courts near LHS to be discussed again by city commissioners
If the lights cannote pass code, then should not be installed. I'd like to see some consistency in Lawrence instead of the variances. Maybe, there would not be so much controversy if the code was followed.

Haskell's president, Chris Redman, leaving for job in Oklahoma
Haskell's administrative positions are part of a larger organization. It's not like a state university. Career ladders extend beyond Haskell within the BIA and access to all federal government positions. Not the best situation for a college and hard to comprehend for an academic setting.

Land management geography. Not in the administrative chain.

The ratio of faculty to staff is about 40 to 180. That's extreme too.

Haskell's president, Chris Redman, leaving for job in Oklahoma
Matt, The number of graduates out of how many students? Do they separate the programs or do they use some overall total?
By the way, the paper does not include information from the online links. People who read hard copy do not get the whole story.

The BIA is under the Department of Interior. See http://www.interior.gov/index.cfm

Chuckle. I did not check out that link. Still, how the calculation was done is a puzzle. Most students drop out during the freshman year. How would they count those students? Against the associates degree or the baccalaureate degree?
The rate looks really low anyway. It would be interesting to read about minority graduation rates at other schools.

Brownback concludes tour urging support of stable funding for higher education
Too late. The governor set a pattern of no input from Kansans. He knew better in so many cases. Now, he needs us?

"...around 26 percent with associate's degrees included." Haskell has both two year and four year degrees, but must report on the higher degree. In other words, none of the students who graduated with an associates degree would have been counted as graduates of the four year degree. It's a fluke in reporting. The 26% is inconclusive.
