Another forum will begin at 9 a.m. tomorrow (Tuesday, June 10), in the same Omaha locations. That forum will not be broadcast.
On Saturday, NU Board of Regents approved the university’s biennial budget. The budget cuts were necessitated after state revenues fell below projections. To deal with the shortfall, the university’s appropriation was cut by 4.7 percent for the upcoming, 2003-2005 biennium.
