Dodge City Community College, Pratt Community College, and Cowley Community College have filed suit against the Kansas Board of Regents based on what the plaintiffs said was unequal funding for vocational and technical programs.
Reimbursements from the state for full-time students in some of the programs at the schools are lower than for other community colleges, according to the suit, which is seeking a temporary injunction halting the state’s allocations.
The community colleges are seeking past and future compensatory damages. They are asking the court to require the implementation of an equitable funding formula.
