Board of Regents allocates federal stimulus funds

The Kansas Board of Regents recently announced that the state's six universities will receive $7.7 million from the higher education portion of the Federal State Fiscal Stabilization Fund for fiscal year 2009. The Regents allocated 100 percent of the available current-year funding to 16 critical deferred maintenance projects on the state university campuses. The funds, which address about 1 percent of the $825 million state university deferred maintenance backlog, will result in WSU receiving $847,192 for heating, ventilation and air conditioning replacement in the Engineering Building. http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/l/esopfh/
