UMW 'asking tough questions' as it braces for budget cuts - Lindley Estes, Free-Lance Star

The University of Mary Washington's board of visitors is talking about how to bolster the school's budget and best use available money in preparation for a likely decrease in state funding for higher education next fiscal year. UMW President Troy Paino said he received a letter from Gov. Terry McAuliffe's office two weeks ago instructing him to prepare for a 7.5 percent cut in the fiscal year that begins July 1—about $2 million of UMW's budget—and a loss of $350,000 in the current budget year. http://www.fredericksburg.com/news/education/umw-asking-tough-questions-as-it-braces-for-budget-cuts/article_f790b0a3-6249-5d8d-b27a-0d747e577fd5.html
