HSU budget calls for eliminating some positions, cutting $9 million in spending; Third Street Gallery to close - Humboldt State

Humboldt State University has released its 2018-19 budget, which is focused on addressing a growing budget deficit while also ensuring students have the courses and support to make progress toward graduating. In a memo to the University community, President Lisa Rossbacher acknowledged that the budget will be challenging to implement. However, she stressed that it shields students as much as possible from the brunt of reductions while also putting the University on the path to a balanced and sustainable budget. “This is a Students First budget, reflecting our shared commitment to providing students with an outstanding educational experience as we move forward with the difficult decisions necessary to achieve fiscal stability,” President Rossbacher wrote. The new budget includes plans for addressing ongoing shortfalls by reducing $9 million in spending over the next two years. http://www.times-standard.com/article/NJ/20180409/NEWS/180409844
