WKU president outlines state budget cuts - AARON MUDD, BG Daily News

Western Kentucky University President Timothy Caboni released new details Tuesday about the scope of state budget cuts, which include a new cut to the Gatton Academy for gifted students. “We’ve been closely engaged in this process throughout the legislative session, and while there are some improvements in the final version from where we started, this budget presents us with significant challenges,” Caboni wrote in a campuswide email. Before lawmakers approved their budget Monday, WKU and other universities across the state were expecting cuts of 6.25 percent. For WKU, that translated to $4,619,000. http://www.bgdailynews.com/news/wku-president-outlines-state-budget-cuts/article_3f166b6d-558b-5693-9bde-906bda6939cd.html
