OSU Approves New $1.3 Billion Budget But Still Faces Gap - Meerah Powell, OPB

Oregon State University’s Board of Trustees Friday approved a budget of more than $1.3 billion for the next fiscal year, beginning in July. The board is asking university leaders to prioritize funding toward recruiting and retaining students and faculty and promoting diversity and inclusivity. Other key priorities include advancing construction on the OSU-Cascades campus in Bend. How the university will balance its budget remains unclear, while facing flattening student enrollment and a potential lack of additional funding from the state. https://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-state-university-budget-2019/
