Chancellor: Budget reduction is closer to $4.6m - U Wisconsin Green Bay

The revenue gap facing the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay under the governor’s proposed budget will in reality be closer to $4.6 million annually than to the initial projection of $4 million, Chancellor Gary L. Miller said Friday morning (Feb. 20). Miller addressed an audience of more than 200 faculty, staff members and students in an informational budget “town hall” session in the University Theatre. The difference relates to inclusion of a budget provision that would trim $600,000 from UW-Green Bay’s allotment for cost-to-continue items in the second year of the biennium. Despite the new, higher figure, the Chancellor expressed confidence that UW-Green Bay administrators and campus planning groups are making headway in identifying ways to manage the impact of a reduction in state-allocated taxpayer support. http://news.uwgb.edu/log-news/headlines/02/20/chancellor-budet-target-closer-4-6-million/
