'Biggest cuts since the Great Depression': North Dakota budget proposal calls for higher ed funding cuts - Blair Emerson, Bismarck Tribune

Gov. Doug Burgum's budget proposal appears to invest an additional $90 million for higher education in North Dakota — but earlier cuts still leave the state's university system wanting for dollars. The additional funding comes after a 5 percent cut, or about $27.8 million, to the North Dakota University System, according to NDUS officials. The 5 percent cut comes after a loss of about $123 million this past biennium — "the biggest cuts since the Great Depression," according to NDUS chancellor Mark Hagerott. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4549094-biggest-cuts-great-depression-north-dakota-budget-proposal-calls-higher-ed
