At a joint Faculty Council and Employee Forum meeting Friday afternoon, Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz announced there will be cuts to UNC’s operating and personnel funds until further notice. There will be a 7.5 percent cut to operating funds, and a 1.5 percent cut to personnel staff funds. This will help the University eliminate the $100 million structural deficit the University is currently facing by the end of the 2021-22 fiscal year, Guskiewicz said. “These budget measures that we’re putting in place are consistent with those that we had put in place at the beginning of the pandemic,” Guskiewicz said. “We will continue those measures — those COVID measures — until further notice.”
