University of Kansas to slash budget by $20 million - Associated Press

The University of Kansas plans to cut $20 million from its Lawrence campus during the next fiscal year. The university announced Tuesday that the reductions will mean about a 5.9 percent budget decrease for all Lawrence campus units and departments. The cuts take effect July 1, the Lawrence Journal-World reported . "The map to move us forward readjusts our budget to meet our obligations and helps us put our students, staff and faculty first," said Carl Lejuez, interim provost and executive vice chancellor. "This includes a commitment to keep tuition increases as low as possible and to enact a plan for getting back to annual merit raises, even if small at first." http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article212169144.html
