A slight drop in enrollment at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will trigger a slight cut in the budget. UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said in his State of the University Address that university leaders will be forced to make the cuts, because enrollment on the Lincoln campus dropped by 1.6%. “Because of the enrollment decline and an increase in other fixed costs, we have a deficit of approximately $6 million. A portion of that deficit we have covered by withholding a small part of the salary increase authorized by the Regents. I am confident that with focus we have the will and the means to significantly increase enrollment for next year, beginning in the Fall of 2013.
