Fiscal cliff’s impact in Kentucky uncertain but worrisome - Matthew Schofield, McClatchy Newspapers

Two weeks before the federal government is forced to make cuts that could impact classrooms, extension programs and staff, Kentucky State University’s Teferi Tsegaye notes that all he knows for sure about the so-called “fiscal cliff” is that his agricultural school is among those being shoved over. “It would be devastating,” said Tsegaye, the dean of the university’s agricultural school. He’s worried because, he said, the school is funded half by the federal government, half by the state. If federal funding is whacked, state funding will follow suit, he said. “We don’t have any real information, but we know it’s going to have a dire affect.” http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/12/17/177668/fiscal-cliffs-impact-in-kentucky.html
