BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University, which is projecting a budget gap of almost $27 million on its main campus for the next school year, said it is targeting a reduction goal of 10 percent for its auxiliary budgets, which includes athletics.
BGSU has not yet finalized its plans to cut costs, but plans to do so in May.
In a message sent to staff on Thursday, BGSU president Rodney K. Rogers said the university was “in a strong financial position prior to this crisis,” but it still needs to look at long-term and short-term cuts, the latter of which "include furloughs, where legally allowed, a hiring freeze, operating budget reductions, and savings in utilities, travel, and supplies.
