University to host town hall budget meeting Wednesday
University of Nevada, Reno officials will host a town hall meeting in the Joe Crowley Student Union ballroom 1 p.m. Wednesday to discuss the recent budget cuts requested by Gov. Jim Gibbons. The cuts would be a part of the 14 percent cuts to the biennium budget, in addition to the 4.5 percent cuts the university made at the beginning of the year.
The crunch would take away more than $20 million from the university’s budget alone.
UNR has announced 40 employees will not have their contracts renewed for next year, including one employee in a teaching position. Also, the marching band may be disbanded.
More cuts are expected to be announced at the meeting.
For those who cannot attend the meeting, questions can be submitted at this link.
