Group to discuss economy
By Evan Walter
A task force of officials from the University of Kansas will meet today at 4 p.m. in Strong Hall to discuss a six-month agenda addressing the economic problems confronting Kansans against Geno A. Budd said Monday.
"I'm concerned about the economic outlook for the state of Kansas," Budig said. "We have a troubled economy. There will be no meaningful development without the aggressive involvement of KU.
"The future of this state and its institutions is at stake."
A report to be issued by the task force will be submitted to the chancellor by the end of the year.
The task force will begin to consider the ways KU programs and research can contribute to the economic development of the state by compiling a list identifying viable ideas for economic development.

KU business, engineering and computer science programs can obviously contribute to economic development, Budig said. But other departments, such as the fine arts and humanities, also have something to offer by making Kansas a more attractive place to live.
An economic development group has been in the planning stage for about three and a half months, Budig said.
"Our faculty are anxious to assist." he said.
Although the task force will have only 13 members, Horowitz said, they will allow outside help. "There will be plenty of room for anyone who wants to make a contribution, she said.
Budig said, "It would be my hope that other universities would establish similar organizations."
