State College Budget Cuts - KDLFI

The latest round of budget cuts is having a major impact on higher education in the state. The UL system as a whole is looking to eliminate over 17 million dollars from their midyear budget. It's all in response to higher education's 50 million dollar share of the state's 251 million dollar budget for this year. Different individual universities will cut from their general budgets. UL Lafayette, the university with the largest enrollment and largest budget in the entire system, will have to make the biggest cuts. Dr. Savoie and his board will look to reduce the budget by three point three million dollars, which is five point one percent of its entire budget.
