The University of Kansas has cut the Kansas Union out of its Jayhawk logo licensing revenue, Union representatives revealed in a February Student Senate Finance Committee meeting.Â
The Kansan first reported on KU considering cutting the Union out of the Jayhawk logo licensing revenue in 2018, but it was not announced previously that the plan to defund the Union of its licensing fees went into effect the same year.Â
At the time, the Kansan obtained a document from the Union saying it could reduce resources for student programming by 71%.
Kansas Memorial Union Senior Associate Director of Strategy J.J O Toole-Curran said it was a funding issue for KU, so they needed to pull from the Union.

The Integrated Science Building in the Central District of the University of Kansas is pictured on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.
The University of Kansas has submitted a proposal to the Kansas Board of Regents to construct a nearly $200 million science building, a move that ‘appalled’ a group of faculty members concerned about KU’s budget.
But a KU spokesperson said the university’s proposal was procedural and that the building’s construction would be dependent on securing funding. KU does not expect plans for the new building a second integrated science building to materialize “soon,” spokesperson Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said, and the university remains focused on its immediate budget challenges.
