Board of Visitors discusses budget cuts - Erin Flynn, The Breeze

JMU’s budget cut of 4.2 percent and possible ways to address it were some of the many topics discussed during Friday’s Board of Visitors meeting. The state budget cut, according to Charles King, the senior vice president for administration and finance, was averaged 3.3 percent across Virginia public colleges. The cuts that each university received varied. JMU specifically received a budget cut of 4.2 percent, or $3.1 million, for both the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years. Other schools like the University of Virginia received a 6.6 percent cut for 2015. The College of William & Mary received a 5 percent budget cut for the 2015 fiscal year and 7 percent budget cut the 2016 fiscal year. http://www.breezejmu.org/news/article_655af94e-4775-11e4-8cfe-001a4bcf6878.html
