Students, officials respond to proposed university system budget cuts - Amanda Woodruff, Gainsville Times

Following Monday’s release of a proposal to shave hundreds of millions of dollars from the University System of Georgia’s budget, North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College communities are scrambling to rally against the unprecedented cuts. Erroll B. Davis Jr., chancellor for the University System of Georgia, provided a detailed list of $300 million in systemwide cuts to lawmakers Monday. The proposed $300 million in spending reductions is in addition to $265 million in cuts recommended by Gov. Sonny Perdue in his fiscal year 2011 budget.
