Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College has announced budget cuts that include layoffs - Associated Press

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College has announced budget cuts that include layoffs and the elimination of one degree program and two certificate programs, plus a proposed tuition increase. The Miami News-Record reports that NEO President Jeff Hale said Monday the cuts are due the college receiving nearly $1.5 million fewer dollars in state funding than last year. The Legislature reduced funding to all higher education by 16 percent as lawmakers worked to fill what had been a $1.3 billion shortfall in the state budget. http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/story/21e622eb513045e59908ee4f26315a32/OK--Northeastern-Oklahoma-A-and-M-Cuts
