How much is too much for Kansas University to pay guest speakers?

Asked at Lawrence Public Library on November 12, 2015

“It's responsible for KU to pay transportation costs. I guess it makes sense that they need compensation, too, but I think over $10,000 would be too much.”

— Quinlan Carttar, student, Lawrence

“Depends on the speaker. But $20,000 would probably be too much.”

— Fred Fuller, works at Brandon Woods, Lawrence

“$10,000? It's hard to say.”

— Pete Williams, adjunct lecturer, Lawrence

“I would say no more than $5,000. Asking for more than that is arrogant.”

— Wayne Baker, retired, Lawrence
