NDSU's state funding cut solidifies at 18 percent, but no details on impact yet - Patrick Springer, inForum

NDSU will receive almost 18 percent less state money for its operating budget in the two-year budget cycle starting in July than it did for the previous two years, in line with expectations of a cut in the range of 15 percent to 20 percent. The North Dakota Legislature's higher education funding bill approved Thursday provides general fund support of $129.1 million for NDSU in 2017-19, a decrease of 17.9 percent from the $157.4 million appropriation for 2015-17. A spokeswoman at NDSU declined to comment Friday, pending further guidance from the chancellor's office. http://www.inforum.com/news/4258637-ndsus-state-funding-cut-solidifies-18-percent-no-details-impact-yet
