A Nevada higher education system committee created in response to COVID-19-related budget cuts held its first meeting Friday. The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents’ budget reduction response committee heard presentations virtually about NSHE funding sources and shared services. No action was taken, except on changing the committee’s name to fiscal sustainability committee. Last month, Gov. Steve Sisolak asked state agencies to prepare for 12 percent annual budget cuts for the 2021-23 biennium.
