University of Nebraska-Lincoln budget cuts imposed - Associated Press

Budget cuts to cover a $4.65 million shortfall have been imposed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but they don't include any reduction in academic offerings. Chancellor Harvey Perlman told university workers in an email that the cuts were made effective Tuesday. They echo the proposals he released in March. Among them are a point taken off a planned 3 percent increase to UNL's salary pool next year, which will save $3.2 million. A supplemental salary program will be employed in January if the university experiences growth in enrollment, Perlman said, but he's "reluctant to assume growth at this point." http://www.theindependent.com/news/state/university-of-nebraska-lincoln-budget-cuts-imposed/article_60ea885d-1cf0-5efb-9dbc-22885bc20f28.html
