PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION In 1999, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Higher Education Reorganization Act. In exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system, KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain over $9 million in new funding for Kansas universities in 2004. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 2nd to keep fighting for us!
