Lack of state funding could end University Center next year - Doug T. Graham, Daily Herald

The center has enough money to operate only until Dec. 31, 2018, said Executive Director and Dean G. Gary Grace. "We've been able to survive the last two years by using reserves and meeting our expense obligations by using cash in leu of having full state appropriations," Grace said. In the 2009-10 school year, the state contributed about $2.9 million to the University Center. That number gradually dwindled to around $1 million by the 2011-12 school year, where it remained through the 2014-15 school year. The center received no state funding for the 2015-16 school year and $532,500 last year. http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170629/lack-of-state-funding-could-end-university-center-next-year
