The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Confucius Institute will close as part of the university's plan to cut $38.2 million from its budget. UNL said the institute will begin ramping down its operations immediately and be shuttered by the end of the year as part of initial budget reductions, saving about $150,000 in salary and operational costs. The Phase 1 cuts, which will affect non-academic units, are expected to total $16.4 million. Chancellor Ronnie Green announced his proposed Phase 2 cuts earlier this week, which will seek to trim an additional $22.6 million in academic programming and staff.
