E. Oregon University Cuts Spending, Spares Jobs -- For Now
Comments 0 | Recommend 0LA GRANDE -- Citing projections that the state government faces $142 million shortfall in revenue, Eastern Oregon University says it plans to cut $433,000 in spending between now and the end of the academic year.
President Dixie Lund says the school plans to scale back on supply and equipment costs, and travel. Lund says she has suspended a dean search, and two professors will serve as associates in the interim.
The good news, Lund says, is the school does not plan to cut jobs or programs.
She said, however, that the 2008-09 budget could change again if there are adjustments in the state's revenue forecasts.
