University of Central Missouri planning ahead for budget cuts - Nicole Cooke, Sedalia Democrat

Colleges and universities across the state are working to figure out how to cut costs after Gov. Eric Greitens announced a budget cut to higher education last week, including the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Greitens cut more than $146 million in spending from the budget, including close to $68 million in core funding for public universities and community colleges. About $4.1 million is being withheld from UCM’s Fiscal Year 2017 budget, according to Assistant Director of University Relations Jeff Murphy, which he said is about 8 percent of the institution’s state funding. http://sedaliademocrat.com/news/20845/university-of-central-missouri-planning-ahead-for-budget-cuts
