State cuts tough on growing Mary Washington campus - LINDLEY ESTES, THE FREE LANCE-STAR

For the University of Mary Washington, which is in the midst of an $85 million effort to update its student facilities, Virginia’s budget cuts couldn’t have come at a worse time. UMW recently opened the $26 million Information Technology Convergence Center, and construction continues on the $43 million Campus Center, which will open in fall 2015. In addition, $16 million in renovations are underway on two academic halls. But now, university officials are preparing for the worst-case budget scenario—a 5 percent reduction in operating expenditures during the current fiscal year and 7 percent next year. http://news.fredericksburg.com/newsdesk/2014/10/18/state-cuts-tough-on-growing-umw/
