Trustees approve $42M in cuts to UF budget - The Associated Press

Trustees of the University of Florida approved $42.2 million in budget cuts Tuesday, as school officials face the greatest funding crisis in almost four decades. The trustees voted unanimously on the cuts by voice vote during a telephone conference call. While the cuts are painful, they could have been worse if not for federal stimulus money allocated to the university and efforts by administrators to lobby the Florida Legislature during the state budget process, trustees and administrators said.
