NH school officials: Can’t trim any more from budgets - JAKE BERRY, Nashua Telegraph

Officials at the University of New Hampshire, who have raised tuition for 22 straight years, pledged to freeze in-state rates if lawmakers restore the $50 million that was cut from the university system last year. UNH President Mark Huddleston made that pledge in an interview with The Telegraph. But with state revenues still suffering and a lack of trust in the university system’s ability to correct inefficiencies, lawmakers don’t foresee restoring the funds anytime soon.
