UMaine chancellor addresses budget cuts - Associated Press

The University of Maine System will cut up to 165 jobs in the coming year and the number could grow because of additional cuts that are under consideration, Chancellor James Page told state lawmakers Friday. The university system is already facing a $36 million shortfall but another $9 million could be cut as lawmakers make further adjustments to balance the budget. The additional cut could mean the loss of up to 95 more jobs if absorbed entirely through the system's payroll, an unlikely scenario, Page said. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UMaine-chancellor-addresses-budget-cuts-5298211.php
