UND eliminating 138 positions to meet budget allotments - DAVE KOLPACK, Bismark Tribune

The University of North Dakota plans to eliminate 138 faculty, staff and administration positions to help meet budget cuts ordered by the governor, the school's interim president told state Board of Higher Education members Thursday. Ed Schafer disclosed the numbers at the meeting, where leaders of the state's 11 colleges and universities mapped out preliminary plans to trim finances in order to comply with Gov. Jack Dalrymple's mandate that all agencies cut budgets by 4.05 percent. Dalrymple called for the reductions to make up for a drop in oil drilling and depressed crude prices. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/und-eliminating-positions-to-meet-budget-allotments/article_697993e3-2294-5c58-a658-647f31ab0661.html
