UND president asks deans for rewrites on budget proposals - Andrew Haffner, Forum News

Budget cut recommendations submitted last week to the UND president’s office by campus leaders have been returned for further editing. A UND news release stated the president’s office has given campus leadership another week to rewrite their proposals with an eye toward more structural reductions as opposed to one-time cuts. UND President Mark Kennedy stated his office is “taking additional time to ensure that our analysis provides a sound basis for our budget decisions.” The recommendations delivered by the deans contained plans to reduce their budgets by 4, 8 and 12 percent to make way for an estimated university funding cut of $16 million and a fund reallocation of $7 million. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/und-president-asks-deans-for-rewrites-on-budget-proposals/article_173dfda3-3951-51b5-be25-099538c4db51.html
