OK U Landscape and Grounds faces more than $80,000 in cuts amid budget decrease - Kayla Branch, OU Daily

OU’s Landscape and Grounds budget has been reduced by more than $80,000 in the past year. Following OU’s 7 percent tuition increase, implemented because of a cut in state funding amid a statewide budget crisis, the landscape budget also lost revenue, OU budget director Linda Anderson said. Anderson said there was initially only a $6,072 reduction from fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2017, but that number was raised after an additional assessment. “Landscape was assessed an additional $76,691 cut after July 1, 2016,” Anderson said. “So the total reduction to their budget in one year was $82,763.” http://www.oudaily.com/news/ou-landscape-and-grounds-faces-more-than-in-cuts-amid/article_024986a2-ddd9-11e6-b607-d7e60008d5b5.html
