Ball State to address state funding cuts - Sarah Boswell, Ball State Daily News

State funding for Ball State University and other Indiana public colleges will be reduced by $150 million during the next two years, Gov. Mitch Daniels said Friday morning. The budget cuts are part of Daniels’ plan to cut overall spending in response to lower than expected state revenues. Daniels will give the Indiana Commission on HIgher Education 30 days to identify spending cuts, which all state universities must share. Randy Howard, vice president for business affairs and treasure, who is in charge of the university's budget, said he's unsure of what cuts Ball State may have to make. "Whatever decisions we make will perserve the quality of education," Howard said.
