Connecticut State Budget Cuts Could Impact University - Southern News

Connecticut has proposed a budget cut that will be affecting the state tremendously, said Jonathan Wharton. “This is an issue I’ve been stressing and suggesting that is of major importance,” said Wharton, political science professor at Southern. “It was well known over the past five years, minimum, that our debt was significant here in Connecticut.” Wharton said he expected this to happen because of the financial hole Connecticut has been faced with for the last years. He said he is concerned about the state and its schools and universities. There are 17 colleges in Connecticut, each may be affected by this budget cut. https://thesouthernnews.org/2017/02/21/state-budget-cuts-could-impact-university/
