‘Unprecedented cut’: Proposed budget cuts hit arts and culture the hardest - Hannah Kanik, Daily Emerald

Proposed budget cuts are targeting arts and culture resources on campus disproportionately, sparking a reaction from the university senate. Provost Jaynath Banavar released his recommended budget cuts to address the budget crisis at the University of Oregon last Wednesday. Of the $11.6 million that must be cut from the university’s general fund budget, a total of 10 percent — or $1.2 million of the cuts are coming from museums, the Labor Education and Resource Center and the Oregon Bach festival. https://www.dailyemerald.com/news/unprecedented-cut-proposed-budget-cuts-hit-arts-and-culture-the/article_565a8014-72cb-11e9-8ab6-47dd0b74f413.html
