Everyone knows how the economy is suffering in these hard times. We as college students are also more aware of how these hard times are not making 'attending a university' any easier. Prices are increasing, taxes are increasing and we are losing our jobs that pay for our classes.
The state will most likely need to cut $700 million by the end of this fiscal year (June 30), which means that FAU will need to immediately reduce our budget by $12 million dollars and by another $15 million in July.
The Board of Trustee's were discussing in their January meeting that these cuts will come from programs, consolidating duplicate services, promoting and increasing the distant learning classes, etc... Leaving layoff's as a last resort.
More detailed budget information, that lets you post a specific question and the university will answer them. President Brogan recently traveled to Washington D.C to help figure out how much of the new stimulus package will FAU receive.
