UNK plans 'unprecedented' budget cuts affecting 38 campus positions to meet $3.4M budget gap - World-Herald News

University of Nebraska at Kearney Chancellor Doug Kristensen on Monday outlined proposed budget cuts that exceed $3.4 million and affect 38 positions across nearly every campus unit. Men’s baseball, golf and tennis will be eliminated. Position eliminations comprise 16 faculty, 2.5 administrative, and 16.5 staff positions. Three affected staff positions will shift to the University of Nebraska system as part of the budget response team process. “The magnitude of these cuts is unprecedented, considering they represent a nearly 5 percent reduction in UNK’s operating budget and employee workforce,” Kristensen said. http://www.omaha.com/news/education/unk-making-unprecedented-budget-cuts-affecting-campus-positions-to-meet/article_2bac4235-5f38-51d0-910a-4e6f9da88319.html
