»  Comments | Post a Comment

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - A budget panel at the University of
Southern Mississippi is asking administrative and academic
department heads at the school to make a case for keeping their
units.
The University Priorities Committee - an in-house budget
overview committee chaired by Associate Provost Bill Powell - wants
the reports by mid-May, according to The Hattiesburg American.
Programs and job positions are at stake as school officials
scramble to plug an additional $15 million-$20 million funding gap
for the 2011-12 academic year in addition to the $12 million
shortfall for 2010-11 shored up last year.
Provost Bob Lyman kept alive the possibility of 100 faculty cuts
by 2011-12 during a recent town meeting.
