Budget cuts slow hiring process a extension office -AA+A Bookmark and Share - Nick Schrager, Springfield Sun

Though the county has a new extension office building, it’s missing two important people; a 4-H agent and agriculture agent. According to Horticulture Agent Dennis Morgeson, the University of Kentucky is holding approximately 70 positions due to budget cuts from the state. Morgeson said it’s important to note that when the state cuts from the university’s budget, “the university cuts the College of Ag, the College of Ag cuts extension, and extension has to hold on hiring agents to meet their budget.” https://www.thespringfieldsun.com/content/budget-cuts-slow-hiring-process-extension-office
