Arizona universities could be next to face budget cuts - Ariella North, Daily Wildcat

Kim Sabow, the assistant vice president of state relations said all the other options for cuts in Arizona simply won’t see many cuts. Sabow told the senate that during the last economic downturn, these departments were cut to the bare bones, and there is essentially nothing left to cut. Sabow said this essentially leaves only the universities with room for cuts. “So for the foreseeable future, universities will indeed be on the table.” Sabow added that a solution to ensure the UA won’t see dramatic cuts is the benefit of their new location in Phoenix. She said by being closer to the capital, their visibility is increased, and they are able to campaign for the things the university needs. http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2014/11/arizona-universities-could-be-next-to-face-budget-cuts
