UMN receives half of budget ask from state legislature - J.D. DUGGAN, Minnesota Daily

Students from the University of Minnesota campuses including the Twin Cities, Crookston and Morris gather on the steps for a rally at the Minnesota State Capitol on Wednesday, April 3 as a part of Support the U Day. With just hours to spare in the regular session, the legislature allocated half of what the University of Minnesota requested in state funding for the next two fiscal years. The higher education omnibus bill, passed Monday, allocates the University $43.5 million beyond base appropriations — half of its $87 million ask. The bill also requests that tuition increases do not exceed 3 percent each year. https://www.mndaily.com/article/2019/05/n-umn-receives-half-of-budget-ask-from-state-legislature
