SCSU trustees must make hard budget choices - Times and Democrat Editorial

Decision day is coming for South Carolina State University trustees when a budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year is to be approved. After two days of consideration of budget matters on Monday and Tuesday, the trustees must decide now where to make cuts. “The president’s given us what we asked for,” Trustee Katon Dawson said Monday. “Making decisions today is hard.” The trustee was referring to President Thomas Elzey and his administration proposing three budget plans based on projected enrollment for the coming semester: * The “robust” budget based on 3,850 students. * The “mission-ready” budget based on 3,700 students. * The “austere” budget based on 3,400 students. http://thetandd.com/news/local/scsu-trustees-must-make-hard-budget-choices/article_37b4b7c2-f72b-11e3-b6de-0019bb2963f4.html
