SIU prepares for variety of budget scenarios - Chris Hottensen, the Southern

SIU will have to wait several more months before receiving final word on state funding cuts, but school leadership is not sitting on its hands waiting on the state's budget to be approved in late spring. The university plans to put together several different budgets that take into account funding cuts that range from 5 percent to 20 percent. "I think we'll be doing a lot of different budgets as exercises throughout the course of this spring, and where it's going to come down at the end, it's anybody's guess," said President Randy Dunn. http://thesouthern.com/news/local/siu/siu-prepares-for-variety-of-budget-scenarioes/article_26f73ea0-cae4-5569-bcef-42d23ac540ce.html
