Official: University of Montana makes strides in closing $10 million budget gap - KEILA SZPALLER, Missoulian

The University of Montana is projected this fiscal year to close roughly half of the $10 million budget shortfall it needs to make up in the next several years, according to a UM official. "I hear people say we're not making progress, but we are," said Rosi Keller, vice president of administration and finance. "We still have a ways to go, but we are definitely making progress." Thursday, Keller presented UM's 2019 fiscal year finances to the UM budget committee following approval of campus budgets last week by the Montana Board of Regents. She also answered questions after the meeting about how the budget reflects other efforts at UM, such as a plan to reduce faculty. https://missoulian.com/news/local/official-university-of-montana-makes-strides-in-closing-million-budget/article_82535b32-4340-5bc7-8af9-4371b09c6280.html
