Cuts to university system budget could hurt UND med school, leaders say - Sydney Mook, Forum News Service

The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences leaders say any cuts to the higher education system could hurt the school, especially its residency programs. The school is asking the Legislature to provide the requisite funding to continue its work by accepting the North Dakota University System’s needs-based budget without any cuts, said David Molmen, former CEO of Altru Health System and head of the medical school’s advisory council, said “We are not asking for more to do less. We are asking to continue the plan that was initiated several years ago,” Molmen told legislators on the House Appropriations Education and Environment Division Committee this week. https://www.inforum.com/news/education/954963-Cuts-to-university-system-budget-could-hurt-UND-med-school-leaders-say
