IUP sets sights on budget picture - SAM KUSIC, Indiana Gazette

Indiana University of Pennsylvania officials have capped this academic year, put the budget to rest for the next year, and now are looking ahead to the two that follow. And in those years, 2015-16 and 2016-17, officials are seeing budget deficits. But instead of cutting expenses to make ends meet, IUP President Mike Driscoll is proposing that the university boost its income, mostly through tuition dollars, but partly through future fee increases. “While some additional cuts may be needed in the near future, large-scale program reductions and other drastic cost-cutting measures will harm morale and ultimately lead to a downward spiral in revenue,” Driscoll said in a statement. http://www.indianagazette.com/news/indiana-news/iup-sets-sights-on-budget-picture,19853941/
