The friction of these benchmarks forces the school to answer the question of how to provide classes and services for more students with less money.
Already, proposed budget cuts of up to 49 percent of state money has cost UNR its free tutoring services, academic centers, career counseling and faculty their jobs. Now, the university expects to see a 1.39 percent increase in students for fall 2009, bringing total enrollment to more than 17,000 students, according to institutional analysis.
