KU savings and efficiencies reach $9 million this year
KU has an obligation to taxpayers, students and families to operate as efficiently as possible. Chancellor Robert Hemenway outlined how the university has been able to save roughly $9 million through a variety of cost-cutting measures and strategic reinvestments.
The savings come from items as complex as a change in the purchasing rules that will save at least $1 million this year to items as simple as moving publications online. KU is always looking for ways to fulfill its mission of teaching, research and service more efficiently, with efforts being redoubled during these challenging economic times.
