The APC had to address a $38.2 million shortfall in the budget, which Chancellor Ronnie Green accepted in December. “We went through [the programs] with a fine-tooth comb, and ultimately the university accepted our recommendations,” Geisinger said. The only program permanently cut by the university was the hospitality, restaurant and tourism management undergraduate program in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The intercollegiate athletics administration specialization in the College of Business was also temporarily discontinued.
