USM president announces team to help him cut more than $12.5 million from budget - Troy R. Bennett, Bangor Daily News

University of Southern Maine President David Flanagan has put together a six-person team that will advise him on cutting more than $12.5 million from the university’s budget in the coming months. The team includes two new hires. Tom Dunne, who worked as a partner at Accenture from 1984 to 2003, will take on a newly created, one-year position called executive director of initiatives. He will be paid $20,000. “It is his primary task to analyze USM’s cost structure and put together the building blocks for a balanced budget for fy 16 (fiscal year 2016),” a statement released by USM on Wednesday afternoon said. Chris Quint will replace Robert Caswell, who retired earlier this summer, as executive director of public affairs. Quint previously served as executive director of the Maine State Employees Association. https://bangordailynews.com/2014/08/20/news/portland/usm-president-announces-team-to-help-him-cut-more-than-12-5-million-from-budget/?ref=moreInportland
