Regents reveal potential campus-by-campus budget cuts

The UW System Board of Regents will meet this week to discuss the 2009-11 state budget and its impact on UW campuses. At this early stage of the budget process, most of the discussion will be for informational purposes only. However, the Board must take action on general budget allocation guidelines for the 2009-10 fiscal year, approving the methodology for distributing new funds and budget cuts alike across the UW System’s 15 institutions. The operating budget for 2009-10, including tuition rates for the academic year, will be approved by the Board later this summer after the state’s biennial budget is passed.
