Inver Hills Dodges Possible Shutdown, Thanks to MnSCU Deal - David Henke, Inver Hills Patch

Inver Hills Community College President Tim Wynes is breathing a little easier, thanks to a deal struck Wednesday that will allow the college to continue operating if the state government shuts down on July 1. Inver Hills is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, and its financial services and functions are overseen by Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB), the state agency that processes the system’s payroll and financial transactions. If that agency were to close as the result of a government shutdown, the school system would have had no way to access to its existing funds and continue to operate, MnSCU officials said last week.
