University to see share in cuts - Holli Keaton, Troy Messenger

A budget that provides the university a level amount from last year and is equitable across education levels is the best Troy’s Director of Government Relations Marcus Paramore said the school could have hoped for. “We will make the best of that, try to move forward and provide good services to our students,” Paramore said. “We got basically what we asked for looking at the numbers and projections of what the state’s revenue might be. It was imperative they gave us level funding.” Still though, this budget provides around $21 million less than the university was allocated in 2008, and the university has had to find ways to keep up with less money.
