Dunn visits constituencies to announce BPR report cuts - Meghann Anderson and Chris Wilcox, Murray State News

Following a semester and a half of financial evaluations, the University’s budget planning and review teams have submitted their final reports to the President’s Office. The BPR teams were originally charged with the task of finding a way to cut expenditures by $2.3 million in an effort to make up a state-made deficit to the University budget. On Monday afternoon, President Randy Dunn presented the proposed budget cuts to Faculty Senate. Each member received a copy of the document and were allowed to ask Dunn questions regarding concerns they had. As a result, Faculty Senate passed a resolution expressing appreciation toward the President and his promotion of shared governance through the budget review process. The group, however, did not pass the resolution concerning compliance with the University policy and the protection of academic programs in the president’s budget planning review process. http://www.thenews.org/2013/03/07/dunn-visits-constituencies-to-announce-bpr-report-cuts/
