Good morning, Lawrence.

KU students will face a minimum 4.8% tuition increase starting this fall, with in-state tuition and fees set at $6,635 (for a 15-credit-hour course load) as the Kansas Board of Regents approved the plan on Wednesday to address budget cuts.

KU native plant garden will host a summer solstice tour led by professor Kelly Kindscher beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 21, near the Lawrence Municipal Airport school (north of Prairie Moon Waldorf School) and visitors will explore native plants and linger until just before sunset.

Lawrence will observe Juneteenth with free downtown parking and limited transit service on Friday, June 19, while city offices, libraries, and parks remain closed.

Select venues such as Eagle Bend Golf and the Outdoor Aquatic Center will host community events.
