Waiting for the cut: Colleges make space for decreasing budgets - Andrew Haffner, Grand Forks Herald

Higher education leaders in northeast North Dakota are searching their budgets for any fiscal slack as they look to likely reductions in state funding. Alice Brekke, UND vice president for finance and operations, said the university is in the midst of an internal planning process to determine the best means to handle the prospect of future budget cuts. "Exactly what it'll look like at end of day, I don't think any of us can answer that," said Brekke of the final amount to be cut from UND specifically and the North Dakota University System as a whole. "We'll work through a variety of scenarios and there'll be a lot of conversation over the next three months or so." http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4203300-waiting-cut-colleges-make-space-decreasing-budgets
