$10M budget callback estimate to be announced this week - Alex Brase, the Collegian

An estimated 4.5 percent budget callback to each of Kansas State’s colleges is scheduled to be announced in the K-State Today on Wednesday, administration officials said. The estimated one-time cut, a roughly $10 million total funding reduction across the entire university, was first floated to department heads last week. “We will just be emphasizing that, you know, we’re still estimating the spring [semester enrollment] and we won’t really know final estimates for projections until, you know, like, February,” Cindy Bontrager, vice president for administration and finance, said Monday. Four department heads and one member of the faculty senate familiar with the matter confirmed the 4.5 percent estimate to the Collegian. http://www.kstatecollegian.com/2017/10/16/10m-budget-callback-estimate-to-be-announced-this-week/
