Duquesne departments face budget cuts - Robyn Rudish-Laning, Duquesne Duke

Duquesne issued budget cuts for every University department and organization, effective Jan. 4, in response to a decrease in enrollment, officials said. According to Associate Vice President for Budget, Planning and Institutional Research Matt Frist, the cuts only affected non-labor accounts on campus, meaning that no salaries or positions will be cut in any department. Budgets were cut by an average of eight percent, Frist said. Some departments received the minimum cut of five percent, while other departments, such as the division of Business and Management, saw a cut of 12 percent.
