Budget cut plan causes opposition - Nikki Brahm, Advance-Titan

At the faculty budget forum on Friday, a new union, the United Faculty and Staff of Oshkosh, delivered a statement voicing concerns on the defunding of the University system as a whole and UW Oshkosh’s current budget cuts. Implementation of UWO’s new University budget model will begin in July, which focuses on budget cuts for the next three years with three phases, which all happen simultaneously. Phase one focuses on immediate reductions of centrally budgeted items that are not a priority. The target amount is to reduce $2.5 million from $5.4 million. Phase two is to develop budget reduction targets for all division and institutional units, the target is to reduce $6 million GPR from $114.5 million GPR over the next two years. https://advancetitan.com/news/2018/04/05/budget-cut-plan-causes-opposition
