Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Its revenue was less than half those of KU’s Lawrence and Edwards campuses — $365 million compared with $797 million — in the fiscal year that ended last June. State funds accounted for about 30 percent of that revenue, compared with 17 percent for the other KU campuses. But KUMC’s share of the state cuts is larger: $8.3 million over two years, including $4.2 million for the coming year. Medical Center leaders have determined that cuts there will cause the Kansas City campus to lose 20 spots for nursing students, plus five students in its School of Health Professions, four medical residency spots and two M.D. or Ph.D. students. Those enrollment reduc-

have no effect on the Kansas law because the Kansas proof of citizenship requirement was drafted to avoid the legal issues that beset the Arizona law. Kobach, a former University of MissouriKansas City law professor, said the Kansas law doesn’t automatically reject federal voter registration forms, as the Arizona law did. Instead, Kansas election officials hold the forms until a person’s citizenship can be verified. That holding pattern is called “suspended status.” But Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said the proof of citizenship requirement is causing problems that may frustrate voters and cost taxpayers more money to fix. The problem, Shew said, is that just six months after the new requirements took effect, there are quite a few would-be voters whose registration is in the suspended status. That’s because when people show proof of citizenship to get a driver’s license, the state’s Division of Motor Vehicles is unable to forward those documents to election officials. Election officials then have to send letters and contact those people to get their voter registration cleared up.

tions will be necessary because of faculty and staff reductions. But C.J. Janovy, a spokeswoman for the Medical Center, said its leaders also are juggling different options for implementing the cuts, and no further details were available Monday. They will have a bit more freedom in making those decisions after Brownback vetoed a budget provision that would have required KUMC to cut enrollment or programs at an equal percentage on all of its campuses, including those in Wichita and Salina. Still, though, no enrollment or program cuts are planned for the Wichita or Salina campuses, Martin said. — Kansas University reporter Matt Erickson can be reached at 832-6388.

“The large number of suspended voters right now is a concern among election officials throughout the state,” Shew said. Anticipating that this problem will grow with next year’s election cycle, Shew said he has requested additional funds for outreach and temporary help. There are 360 voter registrations in suspended status in Douglas County, and approximately 10,000 statewide, although officials say it is impossible to tell how many are suspended because of the lack of citizenship documentation.
my daughters had seen 200 people coming up the driveway, it would have been very scary for them,” Kobach said. “We are looking into what charges will be filed,” he said. “There are a variety of charges, a number of statutes that apply,” he said, mentioning criminal threat, criminal terrorism and littering. He said neighbors called police, who arrived and were on the scene when the protesters dispersed. But Louis Goseland, of Sunflower Community Action, which organized the protest, said the Wichita-based group did nothing illegal. He said police who were there gave no warnings but just wanted to make sure no one was blocking the street. Goseland said the protesters weren’t trying to intimidate Kobach, and no angry rhetoric was used. He said they were making a statement in opposition to his policies. In November, about 50 people rallied outside Kobach’s secretary of state office in Topeka. Several tried to meet with Kobach, but Kobach’s spokeswoman met them downstairs from his office and told them that Kobach wouldn’t meet with them because his schedule was full and he didn’t conduct immigration-related business in his state office. Kobach has often said he works on anti-illegal-immigration issues, often for other states, on his own time. Goseland said Kobach lists his law office address as his home address, so the group decided to protest outside his home. But Kobach said that didn’t give protesters the right to come onto his porch. In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Kobach said the incident should serve as a reminder of the need for Second Amendment gun rights. But Kobach told the Lawrence Journal-World he was not implying he would have used a gun against the protesters. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.
