It's ridiculous that KU is suspending tenure for professors to save on "covid related costs" when Bill Self's salary is over $3 million. Bill Self and Chancellor Douglas Girod can take a pay cut before they harm our education, KU is a university first

Scholarship Hall residents have voiced their complaints of being told to skip meals and having to walk a mile to eat at unclean tables in Dining Halls due to @KUStudentHouse 's forced closure of Scholl Hall kitchens. @KUSenate and @kuashc needs to join us to demand a change.

Weekly fact: The $1,300 price hike @AURHKU approved last year for the lowest priced non-scholarship on campus room is the equivalent of an over $100 hike in your monthly rent!

#WeeklyFact Did you know that @KUStudentHouse raised the lowest non-scholarship on-campus cost of attendance by over $1,300 by closing Oliver Hall? You can also thank the @AURHKU delegation for approving the plan in a 12-2 anonymous vote last year!

#MeetTheTeamMonday with Owen Heffernan! I’m a sociology major from #LFK. My 1st memory of knowing I was a Jayhawk is the '03 final four run with Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison. I grew up on the Rim Rock Farm. I love LFK and KU, & am motivated to do all I can to make it better.

WB, #Jayhawks! Today is #MeettheTeamMonday so say hello to Jennifer! She is a senior, takes care of our Twitter and Facebook profiles, works at @KUSPAA, loves cats & basketball, and hates writing about herself in 3rd person. If you see her, you're probably at Wescoe, so say hi!

Happening Now: @kuart2018 are protesting the use of KU's private jet in front of the Chancellor's house. They claim the jet (which operates from state $) is depriving the Lawrence community from millions of dollars. More to come later. @KUJHTV @KSNTNews

Selling the jet and adding a propeller plane to our existing fleet would cover 97% of university aviation needs while saving $1m/year #JettisonTheJet https://t.co/qVXn1V8Gdd

@kuart2018 leads the chant with "Repeal and Replace!"
