The Syllabus: A UNCG budget update - John Newsom, News-Record

Here's a little bit of news on the UNCG budget front. As you might recall, UNCG is looking at about $12.5 million worth of cuts to its 2014-15 budget. It might be less, depending on what the legislature does during the short session. It probably won't be more. Either way, it's not great news for UNCG. To put a possible $12.5 million budget cut into context, UNCG had to cut its budget by $4 million this year, and it trimmed 59 employee positions and 390 class sections. Yeah, ouch. The latest (and it's incremental): UNCG probably won't cut as much from its Academic Affairs division as it first thought. http://www.news-record.com/blogs/the_syllabus/article_f16a6f8a-aed9-11e3-9872-001a4bcf6878.html
