Budget cuts coming to U of M Faculties preparing for 3 or 4 % cut, university faces $10.5 million shortfall - Ethan Cabel, the Manitoban

The University of Manitoba administration has instructed faculties and other non-academic units to prepare for budget cuts of between three and four per cent for the 2015-16 academic year. John Danakas, executive director of the marketing and communications office at the U of M, emphasized that U of M president David Barnard will be speaking to these matters next week. According to Danakas, the proposed cuts are contingent on how much the provincial government increases its annual operating grant for Manitoban universities. http://www.themanitoban.com/2014/11/budget-cuts-coming-u-m/21533/
