The news about ISB 2, coupled with reports of a $30 million Adams Alumni Center remodel â which is being paid for by private funds â left faculty calling for more transparency from the universityâs administration.
âThese major capital intensive projects â doesnât really matter how the university suggests theyâre going to be funded â it looks bad and people feel hurt, and people are expressing greater mistrust still of the universityâs claim about an inability to do things like provide competitive salaries to faculty and needing to dismiss high profile staff members in the DEI [D

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) â The University of Kansas plans to eliminate its Humanities department and two undergraduate degrees because of low enrollment, Provost Barbara Bichelemeyer said.
In addition, seven other undergraduate degrees with low enrollment will be merged with other degrees. Six low-enrollment programs will continue, The Lawrence Journal-World reported.
The university will discontinue its Humanities department, along with degrees in Visual Art Education and Humanities, Bichelemeyer told the Kansas Board of Regents Wednesday.
Discontinuing the Visual Art Education degree would save about $100,000 and eliminating the Humanities degree would save about $400,000, she said.
