NU officials brace for budget cuts - Andrew Ozaki, KETV

University officials said changes are coming and they will be severe, eliminating programs that impact staff and students. "We're going to have to eliminate some things we do currently, academically," University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor Ronnie Green said. State lawmakers decided to trim $50 million out of the university budget last spring. UN-L alone has to cut $17 million by 2019. So far, it has been able to target $11 million in savings though consolidation of services, reduced travel and hiring freezes on it's four campuses. But the other $6 million will require tough choices, according to Green. "By the time you get down to that $6 million, it's all about people," Green said. http://www.ketv.com/article/nu-officials-brace-for-budget-cuts/13454289
