What Berkeley’s budget cuts tell us about America’s public universities - the Conversation

The University of California at Berkeley recently announced a financial restructuring due to mounting structural deficits, including a US$150 million shortfall in the current budget year. All areas of university’s operations – academic, administrative and athletic – will likely face spending cuts. Higher education experts have begun to ask if Berkeley can stay Berkeley. From my perspective as a higher education researcher, the question is not just about the future of Berkeley, but about the financial constraints being faced by America’s public university sector. http://theconversation.com/what-berkeleys-budget-cuts-tell-us-about-americas-public-universities-54997
