Indiana State’s budget of $144 million is mostly used to cover staff salaries and benefits, the university’s president said on Wednesday. President Daniel J. Bradley said that 70 percent of Indiana State’s budget goes to faculty and staff while leading students and faculty in a discussion on the state budget for the American Democratic Project’s “Pizza and Politics” event. “It was the first opportunity for a group of students to sit down and talk to the president about the budget. Not very often does a regular student sit down with the president … It’s an unusual event,” said Mike Chambers, chair of the political science department and professor. Chambers said the budget would affect Indiana State community members in terms of student tuition and increased employee salaries. He also said it would give the university an idea of how many professors it can hire and how many students can be placed in each class. http://www.indianastatesman.com/news/all-about-the-money-1.2996824#.USegAaU4twI
