University system bracing for deep budget cuts in upcoming fiscal year - Dan Carpenter, KTUU

The University of Alaska Board Of Regents was presented with several budget scenarios at a meeting last week but its worst case scenario just passed the Legislative Conference Committee. $50 million in cuts could be on the way for the next fiscal year and, although no final budget decisions have been made, the University of Alaska Anchorage is being transparent about potential impacts. “We’ve already taken over the last two years about a $20 million cut and this is that kind of cut in one year, added on to what we’ve already taken, so we’re starting to get to a point where we’re dealing with our core mission here of teaching,” said UAA Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services Bill Spindle. http://www.ktuu.com/news/news/university-system-bracing-for-deep-budget-cuts-in-upcoming-fiscal-year/39058530
