Areas of Responsibility
State of Kansas
The State of Kansas provides the funds, directly or indirectly, for all University
operations and shares with the University the responsibility to ensure that all funds
are spent in the best interests of the State and University. The acquisition of land,
buildings and improvements, and equipment adds to the valuation of the University.
State records must reflect these acquisitions and improvements to ensure accountability
for all permanent property. Property Control maintains records that ensure proper
reporting by the University, which assists the State in its responsibility.
