Rally at NKU targets cuts to education which has led to uncertainty on college campuses - Don Weber, Spectrum News

Hundreds of faculty, staff and students at Northern Kentucky University held a noontime rally to protest statewide budget cuts that have led to job uncertainties on the Highland Heights campus. Mark Leeman, an associate professor at NKU and one of the rally’s organizers, told those in attendance that the state’s practice of underfunding postsecondary education has been taking place for some time and if it continues it will lead to a not so prosperous Kentucky. “This year, the state of Kentucky will contribute 23 percent of NKU’s budget, not even a fourth, they are privatizing your college,” Leeman said. “Who’s picking up the tab? That’s right, students.” http://mycn2.com/politics/rally-at-nku-targets-cuts-to-education-which-has-led-to-uncertainty-on-college-campuses
