THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO FINALLY HAS A BUDGET PLAN. THE ABQ JOURNAL REPORTS SCHOOL’S BOARD OF REGENTS ON THURSDAY FINALLY … AND UNANIMOUSLY … APPROVED A NEARLY 3-BILLION DOLLAR PLAN FOR THE FISCAL YEAR STARTING JULY 1ST.
THAT FOLLOWS MONTHS OF MUCH DISCUSSION, FRUSTRATION, AND REVISIONS OF THE BUDGET PLAN. IT ALLOTS ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE 2-POINT-8 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE BUDGET FOR UNM’S HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER.
IT ALSO INCLUDES THE 3 PERCENT TUITION HIKE AND MORE THAN 4 PERCENT FEE INCREASE APPROVED EARLIER BY THE REGENTS.
