In wake of budget cut, UWRF college faces loss of instructors, courses - Katie Galarno, River Falls Journal

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) at UW-River Falls has managed to cut $1.5 million from its budget — and the effects will be visible come fall semester. Bradley Caskey, dean of the college, said that when the budget for the 2015-2017 biennium was announced last year, CAS aimed to make all of the reductions and changes necessary to meet the cuts in the first year. However, the numbers changed and CAS in the past two months has had to make adjustments quickly, resulting in a reduction of faculty, larger class sizes and decreased course availability. http://www.riverfallsjournal.com/news/education/3994074-wake-budget-cut-uwrf-college-faces-loss-instructors-courses
