Nebraska cuts hold spending growth to zero in proposed 2018-19 University budget - UNK News

Tens of millions of dollars in administrative cuts, continued restraint in hiring and purchasing, and other steps to manage reductions in state funding will hold the University of Nebraska’s spending growth to near zero under a proposed 2018-19 operating budget released today by President Hank Bounds. The proposed budget, which will be considered by the Board of Regents at its June 28 meeting, includes $22 million in administrative cuts identified by the university-wide Budget Response Team process that began in early 2017. Bounds praised Budget Response Team members who have made difficult, and in some cases transformational, decisions to help the university address three rounds of state funding cuts in the past 14 months. http://unknews.unk.edu/2018/06/21/cuts-hold-spending-growth-to-zero-in-proposed-2018-19-university-budget/
