Mike Johanns rejected an earlier Appropriations Committee proposal to cut NU by only $10 million. The governor, in his recommendations prior to the special session, had requested that legislators cut $20 million from the university system. Johanns signed the passed legislation Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These cuts are substantial, and UNMC won&#8217;t be immune from feeling the effects,&#8221; said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. &#8220;We will protect the areas that have the greatest strategic importance to UNMC&#8217;s mission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to especially thank members of the Appropriation Committee who lifted up higher education as a main priority for the state during this special session. Their efforts to minimize the damage to the university are appreciated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, legislators approved 20 pieces of legislation that cut $71 million from the 2002-2003 budget and provided $37 million in cash transfers and other accounting changes. The legislative action marked the third time in the past year that NU&#8217;s appropriation has been reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The reductions are necessary because of a projected tax-revenue shortfall of $255 million for this fiscal year. In January 2003, during its regular session, the Legislature is expected to deal with a much bigger budget shortfall that is projected over the next three years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nebraska Legislature gave final approval Thursday to legislation that would cut $15.3 million from the University of
