University of Minnesota unveils a 3-minute lesson on its $3.8 billion budget- Maura Lerner, Star Tribune

How long does it take to explain a $3.8 billion budget? Less than three minutes, according to a new University of Minnesota video. The video, just 2 minutes and 42 seconds long, is part of a new campaign designed to answer a basic question: Where does the U’s money go? This week, the brief tutorial was unveiled on a new university web page simply titled “Our Budget.” The whole point, says Vice President Matt Kramer, is to make the U’s inner workings a little less opaque to the general public. http://www.startribune.com/university-of-minnesota-unveils-a-3-minute-lesson-on-its-3-8-billion-budget/431662083/
