More UI programs may feel the burn of state budget cuts - Emily Wangen, Daily Iowan

The UI finds ‘predictability’ in its new budget model, UI President Bruce Harreld tells the regents, and the school can more effectively employ resources in the face of dwindling state support — though cuts to university programs may continue. With declining legislative support for Iowa’s public universities, University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld told the state Board of Regents on Aug. 1 that the university is on the path to predictability in adjusting its budget. “We spent the last year focused on understanding our budget and revamping the process so it’s transparent and predictable for our academic leadership,” Harreld told the regents as they considered approving the UI’s $4.1 billion fiscal 2019 budget. “​… We believe we have moved to a system, with your help, that will allow the university to begin implementing the strategic plan in a more significant way.” http://daily-iowan.com/2018/08/02/more-ui-activities-may-feel-the-burn-of-state-budget-cuts/
