Governor Matt Bevin proposed a state budget that would significantly cut funding for higher-education across the commonwealth. Executive action will cut 4.5 percent of the current budget immediately. A grotesque nine percent will be cut the following year if the budget is passed.
What this means for U of L is $6.3 million will be cut from the university’s budget, followed by another possible $12.6 million this summer from his proposal. No stranger to budget cuts, U of L has faced 14 state cuts since 2002.
Do these cuts even affect students?
