Tears at University of North Dakota budget cut forum - Neil Carlson, Valley News

There were some tears Wednesday at a public forum regarding budget cuts at the University of North Dakota. UND is trying to make 21-million-dollars of cuts, following less State funding, because of a State budget shortfall. Jackie DeMolee, Losing UND Staff Job: “I will no longer be employed at this institution. It is not because I don’t love it. It is not because of my performance. It’s because of the budget cuts.” This woman is losing her staff position working at UND’s One-Stop, information center. Ed Schafer, UND President: “We will have a recruiting program and hopefully, we can find another spot, find another place so that you remain in the family of the University of North Dakota.” http://www.valleynewslive.com/home/headlines/Tears-at-Univesity-of-North-Dakota-budget-cut-forum-376432001.html
