UNLV facing fundamental changes with budget cuts - The Associated Press

As Nevada's colleges and universities face 6.9 percent funding cuts, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas finds itself struggling with larger identity questions about its role in the community and the kind of institution it wants to be. Its president, Neal Smatresk, told hundreds of faculty, staff and students this week that all ideas are on the table to reach $9 million in total cuts, including about $4 million from academic programs. Smatresk told The Associated Press that at this point, UNLV won't be able to fulfill all its current goals.
