Big budget cuts manifest in smaller slices: some cuts not so obvious - POLINA MARINOVA, University of Georgia Red & Black

Eliminated academic programs. Reduced hours in campus facilities. Layoffs.
Those are some of the visible consequences at the University after millions of dollars continue to be cut from higher education in Georgia. However, there are other not-so-obvious fees beginning to emerge as a result of the economic climate. Incoming students were one of the first groups to feel the effect of the cuts when they were advised to bring their own bedsheets to orientation.
