The Council on University Planning and Budget heard an update of Eastern’s budget during its meeting Friday. William Weber, the vice president for business affairs, said Eastern received $4,370,043.70 in state appropriations, or roughly 10 percent of the total owed for the fiscal year 2013. He also said Eastern received the MAP Grant money it was owed for the fall semester on Jan. 3 in total of $4,575,345.57. Weber said the university’s budget of $109 million breaks down to $44 million in taxes and state appropriations and $65 million in tuition. He also informed the council of the plans for the program analysis steering committee, which President Bill Perry formed to develop a template for analysis of the functionality and funding required for university programs. http://www.dennews.com/news/council-discusses-university-budget-enrollment/article_6f79e3f2-5e0d-11e2-a212-001a4bcf6878.html
