WICHITA, Kan. — Donors are pushing Kansas’ higher education board to fire Wichita State University’s president after he canceled a virtual speech by Ivanka Trump for its technical school’s graduation.
The Kansas Board of Regents held a private meeting Wednesday with President Jay Golden only two days after a former board member from Wichita said the regents should ask for his resignation.
Golden canceled Trump’s speech after students and faculty protested.
The Wichita Eagle reports that a former regent sent the state board a letter Monday saying the speech's cancellation had damaged the school's reputation with donors.
