MU faculty and administrators discuss decreased enrollment, budget challenges - NORA FARIS, KBIA

During a general faculty meeting on Wednesday, university administrators discussed the challenges professors will face as enrollment numbers dip and budget deficits rise. With a projected $32 million deficit looming in the next fiscal year, administrators said the university must restrict spending on faculty salaries and campus infrastructure. At the same time, they called for increasing strategic investments in research, diversity programs and graduate student stipends to keep pace with other universities. http://kbia.org/post/mu-faculty-and-administrators-discuss-decreased-enrollment-budget-challenges
