Federal stimulus could leave hole in University budget - Gina Potthoff, BG News

The University is determining how to fill a potential $14 million gap left by federal stimulus dollars. The state took away 15 percent of its usual funding for 2010-2011 and gave the University approximately $25 million in federal stimulus dollars instead, said Sheri Stoll, chief financial officer. This one-time gift might have temporarily balanced the budget, but Stoll doesn't expect the state to keep giving that gift when it unveils the 2012-2013 budget in February.
