NDSU president warns steep budget cuts would force cuts to faculty - Patrick Springer, inforum

North Dakota State University’s budget could faces total cuts of 26.55 percent if all proposed budget trimming measures are adopted for the 2017-19 budget now being shaped. NDSU President Dean Bresciani warmed legislators Wednesday, Jan. 18, that slashing the university’s budget that deeply could force staff cuts that would fall heavily on faculty and teaching support staff. Personnel costs account for three-quarters of NDSU’s budget, he said. “It really boils down to cuts in personnel which are cuts to our ability to perform in contributing to the state’s success,” Bresciani said. http://www.inforum.com/news/4201550-ndsu-president-warns-steep-budget-cuts-would-force-cuts-faculty
