VSU must cut about $19 million -- 10 percent of operating budget - KARIN KAPSIDELIS, Richmond Times-Dispatch

Virginia State University will need to cut about $19 million — 10 percent of its operating budget — to make up revenue lost primarily to an enrollment drop, the university’s governing board was told Thursday. As of Sept. 16, the university had enrolled 4,995 full- and part-time students, compared with 5,926 last fall. David Meadows, VSU’s vice president for administration and finance, said the head count decline had cost the university $17.6 million in anticipated revenue from tuition and room and board. http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/vsu-must-cut-about-million----percent-of/article_18db208b-28e0-576e-9c86-9d8e674045df.html
