I think it's more the severe anti-tax, anti-govt political environment in the legislature right now more than it is a KSU bias. The dream-dorm just has terrible optics.
That said it's an important reminder for KU admins to realize what state they're operating in and how they need to cultivate relationships across the state much better than they have. Like KSU does. Outside of Johnson County, KSU dominates the state in exposure, student recruiting, etc etc. They spend time visiting schools in rural areas while we spend time recruiting international students and kids in Chicago that can't get into Illinois. That's why their undergrad enrollment has finally caught ours after 160 years of trailing.
