University Presidents Urge Lawmakers to Find Revenue - Tony McVeigh, Kentucky Public Radio

Public university presidents in Kentucky are urging state lawmakers to hold the line on further budget cuts. Speaking for universities statewide, Eastern Kentucky University President Doug Whitlock told a budget subcommittee the institutions greatly prefer a new source of revenue over further cuts. But they’re not recommending any particular revenue source. “We have confidence and hope that you will face this issue head-on,” said Whitlock. “Whatever reasonable solution you propose, you can count on our support.”
