NU adapting after slashing mileage rate in half - CHRIS DUNKER, Lincoln Journal Star

NU staff were reimbursed 51 cents per mile that year, Feinstein said, just less than the state Department of Administrative Services rate of 53.5 cents per mile. But in the first round of spending cuts enacted by NU last year to trim $30 million from its budget, the university slashed its mileage reimbursement rate for all employees to 25 cents per mile. That's in contrast to the rate increase allowed by Administrative Services this year, which rose to 54.5 to align it with the IRS standard. The Administrative Services rate is the upward limit for all state agencies. http://journalstar.com/news/local/education/nu-adapting-after-slashing-mileage-rate-in-half/article_5ea02c34-55aa-53a7-ae07-83a3c8fd4d1c.html
