EKU Set to Announce 4% permanent Budget Cut

Eastern Kentucky University appears set to announce a 4% mid-year budget cut in response to the state's projected shortfall, now said to be upwards of $456 million.

It is also possible that yet another budget cut could occur for the upcoming 2009-2010 academic year.

Faculty were told to expect hiring freezes - even for previously approved positions - and the disappearance of certain funds designed to support innovative scholarship activities.

An official announcement is expected soon.
