Kendrick: University of Missouri might see 10 percent state cut - Rudi Keller, Columbia Tribune

The University of Missouri will likely see a cut of 10 percent in annual state support in the budget proposal being prepared by Gov. Eric Greitens, state Rep. Kip Kendrick said Friday. Kendrick, D-Columbia, appeared on a panel with three other lawmakers and said state revenue is growing at a weak pace despite a state economy with unemployment below 4 percent. “It is all critical when we talk about this,” Kendrick said. “Whenever you have an economy, I understand people are struggling but it is doing fairly well, and you have to make these significant cuts, it is damaging to funding our priorities.” http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/20180119/kendrick-university-of-missouri-might-see-10-percent-state-cut
