UNK creates plan to address budget gap - KHGI

The University of Nebraska at Kearney is working to finalize budget reduction plans to address a $2.68 million budget gap for the 2017-18 year, according to a press release by UNK. Chancellor Doug Kristensen hosted a budget forum with faculty and staff on Wednesday to outline a proactive plan to address budget challenges. The university is addressing a budget gap of $2.68 million in 2017-18 that will increase to $3.4 million in 2018-19 resulting from reduced state appropriations, lower-than-expected tuition revenue, and increased salaries and benefits, which compound in the second year of the biennial budget. http://nebraska.tv/news/local/unk-creates-plan-to-address-budget-gap
