Budget cuts pass with two ‘No’ votes - Don Weinland, Nevada Sagebrush

The Nevada System of Higher Education’s Board of Regents voted Thursday to cut two departments and five programs from the University of Nevada, Reno.The vote was 11 to two in favor of the cuts, the two opposition votes coming from regents Cedric Crear and Mark Alden, both of Las Vegas.Crear said the proposed non-academic cuts to offices like that of the president’s and vice president’s were too vague for him to support.
