$16 mil still needs to go
University officials are looking to make an additional $16.7 million in budget cuts for next year. Provost Marc Johnson said he contacted the college deans Friday and Monday, asking them to look for programs that can be cut and ways to save money in their individual schools.
“No one wants to cut programs, but it’s got to be done,” Johnson said.
At last week’s town hall meeting, University President Milton Glick explained how the University of Nevada, Reno runs on a $550 million budget.
But while the number seems high, Glick pointed out that more than half of the money is given to the school through grants and private donations – money designated to specific programs in the university.
That leaves the university with $220 million of state dollars for general operating costs, ranging from faculty salaries to program funding. So far, the university has cut $14.4 million through buyouts and notices of nonrenewal contracts issued in June.
Total budget for UNR: $220,900,207
