Last year, K-State was the only one of the six Kansas Board of Regents universities to increase tuition for the 2021-22 academic year.

In addition to the student awards, the committee gave the Spirit Of Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award to four honorees: Deb Nuss and her late husband Brad Fenwick, and Manhattan teachers, the late Linetta Hill and her mother, the late Marjorie D. Johnson.
Fenwick was associate dean of graduate education at K-State and researched infectious diseases. When he died in 2021, the Brad Fenwick Endowment for Civic Science began in his name to fund research in science that can be used to serve the public.
