Montana Tech committee votes to pass final draft of budget cuts - ABC Fox Montana

On Friday, Montana Tech released the third and final draft for its alignment program which will reduce the universities budget costs. Montana Tech's Program Prioritization Committee voted on Friday 13-3 to approve the final draft of the alignment program. The PPC committee is comprised of students, staff and faculty. The job of the committee was to evaluate where the university can cot costs moving forward. A drop in Tech's enrollment has played a part in this decision. The alignment plan will eliminate 10 staff positions along with programs such as data science and statistics, health care informatics and professional and technical communications. The university said current students will be able to graduate through the program. https://www.abcfoxmontana.com/butte/montana-tech-committee-votes-to-pass-final-draft-of-budget/article_ddcb237a-032a-11e9-a536-1b21c6d40529.html
