University of Louisiana cutting $3.3M from budget - Claire Taylor, the Advertiser

UL is cutting $3.3 million from its 2011-12 budget because of projected state shortfalls, but President Joseph Savoie said he is protecting faculty, staff and core academics. The state, last month, announced an additional $50 million cut in higher education funding. This is the fourth consecutive fiscal year UL has been forced to cut its budget, Savoie said. The university implemented cuts earlier this fiscal year, which ends June 30. The cuts will fall into three main areas: Centers, acquisitions and athletics.
