University of Missouri leaders working on response to state budget cuts - Richard Keller, Columbia Daily Tribune

University of Missouri administrators are considering ways to close the budget hole created by new state withholdings but haven’t reached any decisions yet, interim MU Chancellor Hank Foley wrote in an email distributed Wednesday to faculty and staff. MU lost almost $20 million in state support Monday when Gov. Eric Greitens announced he was withholding $146.4 million in general revenue spending, including $83.8 million from college and university budgets. The MU cut includes $13.7 million from operating funds, $4 million to expand medical residency programs in Springfield and $2 million for extension programs. http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/education/university-of-missouri-leaders-working-on-response-to-state-budget/article_7691d115-114f-57a0-af47-6a4208d2131c.html
