The Kansas Legislature has passed a budget that includes an additional $25 million for higher education, a “big sigh of relief,” according to one Kansas Board of Regents member.
Matt Casey, director of government relations for the Regents, shared the “good news” in his legislative update during Wednesday’s Regents meeting. Gov. Laura Kelly’s proposed budget, which was published earlier this year, had included a $27 million cut to higher education. The budget approved by the Legislature includes an additional $24.9 million to higher education.
The Legislature’s budget is not set, however. Kelly would need to sign it for it to become law.
