North Dakota State University administrators are preparing contingency plans for a budget scenario that could be as much as 15 percent below current levels to gird for the possibility of more financial belt-tightening. President Dean Bresciani told leaders of the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association that he has directed his campus to prepare for a possible budget with funding levels of 85 percent of current levels in case cuts must be made beyond the 90-percent levels already directed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple. “Obviously we’re preparing for a 90-percent budget and at this campus we’re preparing for an 85-percent budget,” http://www.prairiebusinessmagazine.com/higher-education/4158731-bresciani-ndsu-preparing-even-deeper-budget-cuts
