Proposed budget cuts would affect every college at University of Toledo - NOLAN ROSENKRANS, Toledo Blade

Proposed academic budget cuts at the University of Toledo would touch every college on the university’s two campuses. Administrators have proposed between $14 million and $17 million in cuts to UT academic programs, according to a memo sent recently to college deans. Those cuts are meant to close a projected budget deficit in fiscal year 2014 of more than $30 million. While UT officials have said for months that reductions are coming, the memo makes it more clear how the budgets of individual colleges will fare. Cuts would be implemented by July 1, the beginning of UT’s fiscal year. The cuts to academics are sure to cause angst among faculty, a group already at odds with President Dr. Lloyd Jacobs, judging from a recent performance review of Dr. Jacobs. http://www.toledoblade.com/Education/2013/05/01/Proposed-budget-cuts-would-affect-every-college-at-University-of-Toledo.html
