Faculty representatives say university budget cuts extremely damaging - Geoff Dornan, Nevada Appeal

 Faculty representatives told legislative money committees Wednesday that the 12 percent budget cuts imposed by Gov. Steve Sisolak are extremely damaging to their ability to provide students a quality education. They made the statements during public comment at the end of a joint Senate Finance, Assembly Ways and Means hearing Wednesday. During that hearing, system Chief Financial Officer Andrew Clinger told lawmakers that 82 percent of the Nevada System of Higher Education budget goes to salaries and benefits at NSHE’s eight institutions.
