Saying it’s “important to remember it’s just a proposal,” Interim Provost Neville Pinto explained budget changes to the faculty senate today.
In the meeting, held in a half-empty Chao Auditorium, Pinto fielded questions and comments from faculty. Most comments focused on Bevin’s rhetoric about providing more funding to STEM fields instead of liberal arts fields.
“I would like to get a slim sense that we are part of the conversation,” one language professor said after a discussion of university input in the budget and its reasoning.
Later in the meeting, President James Ramsey said U of L will fight the budget as hard as they can.
