EKU PREPARES FOR $25 MILLION BUDGET CUT - Kelsi Thorud, WTVQ

Eastern Kentucky University is warning students and staff of major cuts to come if the current state budget proposal makes it through Frankfort. Officials at EKU are not getting too specific yet on what exactly will be cut but say with an estimated $25 million budget cut, students and staff need to prepare for a big shake up. In a campus-wide letter sent out by EKU president Mike Benson, he describes the “serious budget scenario” for the university, saying the potential $25 million budget cut will force the college to cut hundreds of staff positions and end dozens of programs. https://www.wtvq.com/2018/03/23/eku-prepares-25-million-budget-cut/
