K-State Athletic Director John Currie spoke with members of the Student Governing Association’s privilege fee committee about the future of more than $500,000 of funding to the athletic department on Monday. The athletic department is requesting a three-year extension at the current funding rate. Senators discussed continuing, gradually reducing or eliminating the funding. Privilege fees are awarded on a three-year cycle, there would be an opportunity to reassess the situation later. No actions were taken, but Garrett Kays, Committee Chairman and Senior in Agricultural Economics, said he would discuss options with the athletics department and university officials before the next committee meeting.
