The University of Alberta will be cutting its budget by nine per cent over the next three years in the face of some significant financial challenges. Deans and unit leads are being asked to reduce their 2018-19 budgets by four per cent and plan to cut an additional 2.5 per cent the following year and again in 2020-21. “We are keenly aware that the province of Alberta is managing a difficult fiscal situation, which could ultimately impact the Campus Alberta grant,” two U of A vice presidents wrote in a blog posted Tuesday. https://globalnews.ca/news/3827076/university-of-alberta-facing-financial-issues-plans-to-cut-budget-by-4-next-year/
