UNC-system budget committee deliberates budget-cut strategy - Laura Oleniacz, Herald-Sun

The budget committee for the UNC system’s governing board deliberated Wednesday about how to implement a proposed 2 percent state budget cut to each campus. As part of planning for Gov. Pat McCrory’s proposed version of the next biennial budget, the state budget office has asked the UNC system and other state agencies to prepare their budgets with a 2 percent cut worked in, system officials said. Jonathan Pruitt, the systems’ senior associate vice president for finance, said they don’t know if the 2 percent reduction is where they’ll “end up.” That’s because the budget won’t be approved until the summer, following negotiations between lawmakers. http://www.heraldsun.com/news/showcase/x205866485/UNC-system-budget-committee-deliberates-budget-cut-strategy
