MSUB's share of state budget woes to be determined - MATT HUDSON, Billings Gazette

The Montana Board of Regents isn't expected to pass additional, state-mandated budget cuts when it meets this week in Butte. But through the fall, the Montana University System will have to determine how to reduce its contribution to colleges and universities by $16.9 million during the current fiscal year. The reduction could be $17 million next year. It amounts to a 10-percent cut, which other state departments are also planning. With discussions about tuition rates forthcoming, it's unclear yet if each college or university will be subject to a full 10-percent reduction in its state appropriations. http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/msub-s-share-of-state-budget-woes-to-be-determined/article_7f3bc99d-4f35-5fa8-9f2c-8bc52948ace9.html
