Budget cuts will destroy UConn’s reputation - Anusha Kumar, Daily Campus

Opportunities at the University of Connecticut may begin to diminish in both diversity and quantity. President Susan Herbst recently emailed all students at UConn about possible state budget cuts, stating that “more than $300 million” of the university’s funding would be cut, resulting in larger class sizes, limited major choices, increased tuition and closure of all regional campuses at UConn. The budget cuts will not only affect the university on an academic scale, but will also carry consequences with regard to health and wellness. Due to the budget cuts, UConn Health may need to close down, which would make it harder for students to receive the aid and care they need. Additionally, the university will not have enough money to hire psychologists, police, IT professionals and the outstanding professors that have shaped our university into the top public university it is today. http://dailycampus.com/stories/2017/10/13/budget-cuts-will-destroy-uconns-reputation
