NU ahead of its budget cutting goal, work to trim $30M continues - CHRIS DUNKER Lincoln Journal Star

The University of Nebraska is ahead of its goal in achieving $30 million in budget savings as part of an effort to close a $49 million budget shortfall created through a loss of state aid and increases tied to employee compensation and other costs. NU said Monday it has cut $6.5 million from its budget so far this year, largely through eliminating 61 unfilled positions across the university’s four campuses and shifting six others to alternative funding sources not derived from state appropriations or tuition revenue. http://journalstar.com/news/local/education/nu-ahead-of-its-budget-cutting-goal-work-to-trim/article_31f0762f-e31e-58a1-9cf1-7b0907c425fe.html
