UMass Boston budget cuts target academic research centers - Laura Krantz, Boston Globe

Leaders of several academic research centers at the University of Massachusetts Boston are furious with the school after it announced that they would see their budgets slashed as part of an attempt to lessen the school’s deficit. On the chopping block is one center that helps veterans and another that studies Latino communities in Massachusetts, as well as others. “We are all demoralized. We feel devalued in our service to veterans,” said Thomas Kane, director of the William Joiner Institute for the Study of War and Social Consequences, one of 17 centers that are being cut. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/04/02/umass-boston-budget-cuts-target-academic-research-centers/Nsl3PSQa1FmmOJa7W8hBDI/story.html
