Students react to UA budget cuts as classes begin - Scott Taylor, WOIO

Students will return to a very different campus at the University of Akron on Aug. 31 after cuts made by President Scott Scarborough, who is starting a three-year plan to shave $40 million off the budget. The university sites its annual debt payment of $38 million, as just one of many reasons to cut costs. More than 200 employees are gone, along with the baseball team. Now the university is closing its Quaker Square General Store. http://www.19actionnews.com/story/29835942/students-react-to-ua-budget-cuts-as-classes-begin
