Students return to budget-slashed campus - Mike Longaecker, Pierce County Herald

The River Falls campus lost about 50 full-time equivalencies in the wake of the cuts, which affected about 85 employees, according to university data. The state budget, passed by lawmakers and Gov. Scott Walker in July, included a $200 million cut to the University of Wisconsin System. An additional $50 million funding lapse for the 2015-17 biennium was part of the budget reduction. http://www.piercecountyherald.com/news/education/3829826-students-return-budget-slashed-campus
