MU faculty have concerns about move to boost university’s standing - ASHLEY JOST, Columbia Daily Tribune

As the next fiscal year approaches, concerns are growing among faculty about how the University of Missouri will deal with a mandatory 2 percent budget reallocation from every department. The yearly reallocation that kicks in during fiscal year 2015, which starts in July, is required under the university's strategic plan. The goal is for all of the reallocated dollars to go into a pool to bring new faculty to campus and give faculty raises, both moves that could help the university's standing within the Association of American Universities. http://www.columbiatribune.com/import/mu-faculty-worry-about-budget-movemu-faculty-have-concerns-about/article_7460058c-f000-11e3-8289-10604b9f6eda.html
