More good news . . . Record number of credit hours and highest percentage of full time students in Wichita State's history. Should we go ahead and build the statue of Bardo?

I never knew that 15-15 season we had in Turgeon's second year had such an impact on the university.

That's starting to have the external appearance of being a "buy a degree" program.

The KU numbers include the med center in KC. Actually, KSU manhattan numbers are slightly larger than KU's Lawrence numbers.
Should be a sign for KU to get their marketing ass out of ne Kansas and embrace the rest of the state.

KU thinks that the state border is at Highway 10 and anything west and south of that demarcation line is unworthy.

Lets hope not.

A co-worker of mine who is a KU alum told me they are trying to make their admissions standards higher, knowing they will lose in-state students and likely lower their overall numbers.

I don't think KU is going to spend any additional marketing dollars on students they would rather not see go to KU.
