The recent passing of HB387 cut $2.5 million total from UI, Boise State University and Idaho State University budgets. UI lost $500,000 from the budget cut. “We will wait and see how fall net tuition and waivers are and how we are doing within the budget,” Mahoney said. “We set the budget very conservatively and we have a $3 million contingency built into the budget. If all goes well, we can cover that from central funds and not have to impact any units that provide services to students.” Mahoney said there is uncertainty in plans for program cuts and what impact the recent passing of HB387 has on revising student fees. At this point, there aren’t any.
