USM makes changes to budget after consecutive enrollment decrease - Margaret Ann Moorgan, WDAM

The University of Southern Mississippi has put a budgeting plan into place after losing approximately 2.3 million dollars in tuition due to an enrollment decrease. “As we plan for how we're going to manage the institution this year, we have to think about how we're going to live within the available revenue we have,” said USM's Vice President for Finance and Administration Dr. Douglas Vinzant. Vinzant said departments have already started making lists of things that can be cut in the budget, which will then be handed over to President Rodney Bennett and his Cabinet for review. http://www.wdam.com/story/26759162/usm-makes-changes-to-budget-after-consecutive-enrollment-decrease
