How to improve the product, but keep costs down.  That's just one of the challenges facing Wichita State University.  WSU president John Bardo met Wednesday with faculty and staff.

He wanted to give them an update on his first few months on the job.  Bardo says schools across the country are facing much the same issues.

"I think the challenges that we're all going to face is that the rules are going to continue changing at the federal level and the accredidation level. Where we're going to be focusing on, the questions of who are you graduating, how are you getting them there, what do they know and what can they do," Bardo said.

Bardo says he wants to see WSU defined by quality, increased enrollment and research money and enhancements to student life.
