Standard view: Tech's draft plan on budget threatens disaster - Editorial

Montana Tech’s budget-balancing proposal has the capacity to be a full-on disaster for Butte, and the Legislature, the Board of Regents and the University system must not allow that to happen. We believe that the draft plan as presented takes a dull axe to the institution where a scalpel and some bold thinking would be more effective. Cutting the health care informatics program – for years celebrated, we believe correctly, as a vital-cutting-edge program that is a difference-maker between Tech and competing schools — seems to rush past “shortsighted” and “knee-jerk” straight to “foolhardy.” https://mtstandard.com/opinion/editorial/standard-view-tech-s-draft-plan-on-budget-threatens-disaster/article_985e8d64-5e23-5fd4-9242-de36b19b9bee.html
