VSU President Explains School’s Budget Shortfall - WRIC

Virginia State University President Dr. Keith Miller met face-to-face with hundreds of students who were concerned about their school's financial situation. The administration was forced to have a meeting with students and explain to them why the university had to make budget cuts. Some students left feeling like nothing will change. "We are feeling the cuts in each direction and it's not fair to the students," says Alexis Hitchman, a senior. The university is facing an $18.9 million shortfall. The school said it lost millions in government funding. As a result, every department had to make some kind of cut to their budget. "They never considered us when it came to making decisions for the school," says Hitchman. http://www.wric.com/story/26751834/vsu-president-explains-schools-budget-shortfall
