Bookmark and Share

If you work at UNC Chapel Hill and are wondering how the ongoing economic crisis might affect you, I've got a link for you.

Click here for UNC's budget website. The 2/27/09 item titled "Submissions used for University Response to President Bowles' Request for State Budget Impacts at 3%, 5% and 7% Levels" is an 87-page document that summarizes how the university's various departments and divisions would deal with budget cuts. 

You'd best jump directly to the 7 percent levels, but as Chancellor Holden Thorp cautioned today in a letter to the university community, these are still all just scenarios. Decisions have not yet been made.
