Efficiency measures result in $9 million savings
The administration of the University of Kansas, the state's largest public university, reported to the Board of Regents yesterday that the school has saved $9 million since efficiency measures were implemented in 2007. The measures, which include reorganizing the Information Services department, centralizing the acquisition of computers, negotiating better contracts with suppliers and avoiding wasting energy, come at a time when Kansas, like several other states, has made deep cuts to higher ed funding. ACTA commends the university administration and the board for working together to cut back spending -- and we urge other boards to see that their institutions do the same.
