The budgetary axe is, once again, falling at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, this time by cutting instructional and operational expenses as well as costs related to diversity and inclusion, student affairs and research and economic development. The $12 million in cuts proposed by Chancellor Rodney Bennett come six months after another $10.8 million was sliced from UNL’s state-aided budget, which is made up of appropriations from the Legislature and tuition revenue. The June cuts involved closing open positions, reducing administrative costs and shifting some expenses to grant funding.
