The university’s obvious warning: UA president’s budget proposal should wake up Legislature - Daily News Miner Editorial
President Johnsen made his stark remarks as he presented regents with four budget scenarios, all of which included a wage freeze for faculty and staff and three of which included a tuition increase, one of them at 12 percent. Two of the proposals had the university system short of what it needs to maintain at its present level, and the other two were of amounts that would allow for reinvestment. The university needs to be able to reinvest. Really, though, the word should be “rebuild.”
