TOPEKA–When it comes to the Census, Kansas is in a league all its own. Under the Kansas Constitution and state law, the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office must conduct a census of students enrolled at all public and private universities or colleges in Kansas. The law requires that college students be counted every 10 years in conjunction with the federal census. Students who are determined to be temporary residents are statistically returned to their permanent homes in other communities. Abbie Hodgson with the Secretary of State’s Office says to her knowledge Kansas is the only state that goes through this type of student census.
