Ball State University proactively eliminated 25 positions and curbed some non-payroll expenses on Wednesday as the board of trustees approved the 2019-20 general fund budget. The trustees approved an increase in tuition of only 1.25 percent — the smallest climb since 1977 — and an increase in the salary pool of 1 percent — the lowest pay raise since the Great Recession of the late 2000s. "For next academic year, our board of trustees adopted a stable and balanced budget, which provides a one percent salary increase with the possibility of an additional one percent mid-year supplement," Ball State President Geoffrey S. Mearns said Thursday.
