Kansas State's university jet reached Dulles on June 17 during APLU's Council of Presidents Summer Meeting in Washington. Kansas State is an APLU member, and the stop was the aircraft's first tracked Washington-area arrival in 53 prior trips, giving the APLU calendar a cleaner explanation than a markup-only frame.

The Senate Commerce Committee was also set to consider the Protect College Sports Act the next morning. The trip should be read as event-window university policy context, not proof of a specific attendee.
