We have some challenges ahead of us.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/>Myers, 74, replaced former president Kirk Schulz, who left in March to become Washington State University&#8217;s president. <br\/> <br\/>Myers graduated from Kansas State in 1965 and joined the military through the ROTC program at the university. After his retirement from the military, Myers was a part-time professor of military history and leadership before being named interim president. He was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Nov. 9, 2005. <br\/> <br\/><\/article><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Richard Myers 111516-2\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-object-id=\"00000158-692d-d045-af7f-fb2d29370000\" data-type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net\/25\/c2\/92f076e141808b667d84f7e550f4\/richard-myers-111516-2.jpg\"\/><figcaption> <span>Richard Myers, right, stands with his wife Mary Jo after being named president of Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016.<\/span><\/figcaption><figcaption> <span>Photo Credit: Orlin Wagner\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><br\/>The president will face some weighty issues, from cuts in state funding to Kansas&#8217; public universities to the looming allowance of concealed weapons on campus.<br\/><br\/>The amount of money Kansas State has received from the state has shrunk from $163 million in the 2010 fiscal year to $158 million in the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2017, the university has said.<br\/><br\/>Most recently, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback issued budget cuts in May and June to help shore up the state&#8217;s budget, including 4 percent cuts to the state&#8217;s six public universities. But Kansas State and the University of Kansas each took proportionately larger cuts of about 5 percent because the smaller universities rely more heavily on state funding for their overall operating budgets than the larger research institutions.<br\/><br\/>Starting in July, Kansas State and other public universities in the state must allow anyone 21 or older to have concealed firearms on campus in buildings that don&#8217;t have security measures, including metal detectors \u2014 an option widely considered cost-prohibitive for most campus buildings.<br\/><br\/>Myers&#8217; becomes the second high-profile military man to be appointed to a leadership position in the last two years. In January 2015, The University of Texas System hired Retired Adm. William McRaven as chancellor of the 15-campus system. McRaven, a San Antonio native and graduate of the University of Texas, is a former Navy Seal and led the U.S. Special Operations Command before his selection as chancellor.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas Board of Regents on Tuesday made Richard Myers, a retired four-star general and former Joint Chiefs of Staff
