LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas has announced cuts to several programs, totaling nearly $1.3 million in an effort to deal with a $7 million cut in funding by the state.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that university provost Neeli Bendapudi announced the list of cuts on Wednesday. Programs that will take significant budget cuts include Kansas Public Radio and the Kansas Geological Survey.
Bendapudi says the announced cuts make up less than half of what will be needed to be made at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses this year.
Officials at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City say they will face significant difficulties this year as they handle an additional $3.7 million in cut state funding for the medical school.
