Higher Education Budget Cuts Town Hall

Students for a Democratic Society will sponsor a town hall at 2 p.m. Feb. 24 in Violette Hall 1000 to discuss the budget situation, share experiences and plan action.

 

Truman is facing a budget crisis, triggered by repeated funding cuts from the Missouri state legislature. Last year, funding was cut by 8 percent, and this year’s proposed state budget includes another 7.7 percent reduction, adding to a steady 16-year fall. When the state decreases its financial support for Truman, the University faces two options: raise tuition and fees or make cuts to programs and departments.
