Taxing Students
Looks like Lee Todd will have to do what the General Assembly lacked the political will to do.
Raise Taxes
From the Courier-Journal:
The University of Kentucky yesterday proposed raising in-state tuition by 9 percent next year, increasing the amount incoming freshmen would pay each semester by $319.75, to $3,867.75.
You can call it a tuition increase if you want, but it is a tax increase on students and their families.

if it's okay to balance the state budget on the back of the employees, why isn't it okay to balance a University budget on the back of it's employees?
Ask some of those tenured profs if they are willing to take a 9% pay cut. The students have more options than the profs I guess.
Good Job Dr. Todd! That's how you meet enrollment projections! "Tax" the students out of school.
Does UK need another parking structure that bad? I mean really.
