President-Elect Suggests Ways for Murray State to Bring in Revenue as It Faces Budget - WHITNEY JONES, WKMS

Murray State University President-elect Bob Davies says he wants to push the university to compete for funds and look for new revenue sources as it faces budget cuts from the state. The state legislature passed a budget that cuts operational funding 1.5 percent and requires universities to pay half of a state-mandated pension increase. Davies said one way to deal with the cuts is to increase MSU’s revenue, specifically by recruiting more students. http://wkms.org/post/president-elect-suggests-ways-murray-state-bring-revenue-it-faces-budget-cuts
