USM board to vote on budget cuts - Nell Gluckman, Bangor Daily News

A proposal to cut two programs at the University of Southern Maine — undergraduate French and graduate applied medical sciences — could move one step closer to finalization on Wednesday. Members of the board of trustees academic and students affairs committee will vote whether to approve these program cuts at a meeting on USM’s Portland campus. If they do, the full board will vote whether to finalize the eliminations on Friday. The program eliminations are just one part of a plan presented by USM President David Flanagan earlier this month to cut $6 million from the university’s budget. http://www.sunjournal.com/news/0001/11/30/usm-board-vote-budget-cuts/1607085
