In the face of ongoing financial challenges from the coronavirus pandemic, the Oregon State University Board of Trustees on Friday signed off on a revised budget for the current fiscal year that still leaves the university short of the break-even point. Meeting via videoconference, the trustees voted unanimously to approve a 2020-21 budget that includes about $1.292 billion in revenues and $1.357 billion in expenses, a projected shortfall of roughly $65 million. As bad as that sounds, it could be worse.
