University forced to bear millions in cuts - John Wall, Technician Online

N.C. State received a 15.1 percent budget cut from the UNCSystem Board of Governors July 7, one of several universities dealt double digit reductions. Although course section availability will dwindle, Chancellor Randy Woodson said there are currently no plans to eliminate majors. Woodson also said there will not be a tuition increase beyond the one approved last Nov. According to Woodson, it will be the professors and faculty who will carry the burden of fewer funds. "It may be more difficult for us to offer sufficient class sections of various courses because of limits on the faculty and staff that we have," Woodson said.
