Enrollment Decline Means $12 Million Budget Revision For K-State - CELIA LLOPIS JEPSEN, KMUW

Kansas State University is scaling back this year’s budget by millions of dollars after about 1,000 fewer students enrolled this fall compared to the previous year, creating a budget crunch. The steep drop in tuition revenue is prompting the school to pull back a combined $12 million from its academic and administrative units. The university may adjust that amount later depending on spring enrollment. In a letter to the K-State community, a university administrator said notice of the cuts has gone out to the university’s deans and other unit heads. “Kansas State University is working to address the enrollment and budget situation,” wrote Cindy Bontrager, vice president for administration and finance. http://kmuw.org/post/enrollment-decline-means-12-million-budget-revision-k-state
