First set of proposed budget reductions identified - KNOP

Administrators presented the first set of proposed budget reductions to the University of Nebraska Academic Planning Committee on Wednesday. The first set of proposed reductions are focused mainly in the Office of the Chancellor, the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer, and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. They include shifting costs for bus service to and from Nebraska Innovation Campus from state resources to fee revenues, a consolidation of communications and marketing at the university, and reducing budgets for summer school, the Rural Futures Institute and utilities. A second set of proposed budget reductions will be presented and discussed Dec. 6. The university’s process to reduce its Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019 budget by roughly $8.5 million, as part of general reductions throughout the overall university system, began in September and is expected to be completed in early spring. http://www.knopnews2.com/content/news/First-of-two-sets-of-University-budget-reduction-proposals-would-represent-nearly-38-million-457997683.html
