Kentucky State Senate should spare higher education from harmful cuts - Bowling Green Daily News

The severe cuts projected for personnel and programs at Western Kentucky University – one of Bowling Green’s largest employers – will have an impact on the community that extends well beyond the stress on those whose positions are eliminated. University President Timothy Caboni announced a budget plan Feb. 23 that calls for not filling 40 vacant positions and cutting about 100 positions, as well as eliminating some programs, to help make up a $15 million budget shortfall. The Daily News reported that WKU employees began to be informed about job cuts last week. http://www.bgdailynews.com/opinion/our_opinion/state-senate-should-spare-higher-education-from-harmful-cuts/article_bfc35bfe-30ad-5deb-837f-53ba4dada369.html
