Murray, KY – Government funding for state universities in Kentucky has declined the last two budget cycles. Now, at the start of a 60-day budget session in Frankfort, and with Governor Steve Beshear telling agencies to brace for deep cuts, Kentucky's governing council for state universities wants a significant increase. Council on Post-Secondary Education President Bob King sheds light on this request, and talks about the possibility of the private University of Pikeville joining the ranks of public universities.

Highlights:
Chad Lampe speaks with Bob King about the 2012 budget request, performance based funding, a multi-biennial capital projects budget and University of Pikeville lobbying to join the ranks of public universities.
