U Montana President Engstrom: More Budget Cuts Needed - Eric Whitney, Montana Public Radio

The University of Montana will need to cut its budget by 2 - 2.5 percent in the next fiscal year to reconcile expenses with income. That’s in addition to the job cuts happening now. University President Royce Engstrom made that announcement this afternoon at his annual mid-year update address on campus. He said that the recent staff cuts that are eliminating 192 full time positions at the school gets the budget two-thirds of the way to being in balance. "We are looking probably at a 2 to 2.5 percent reduction in non-personnel operating budget of the university." http://mtpr.org/post/engstrom-more-budget-cuts-needed-um
