Fund request cuts probable for CMU
by MARK LaROSA
L if F Ed-tor
One* again it is the time of year when state
officials reveal how much money each school
will receive.
And once again it looks like CMU's budget
request will suffer from a trip to the state
chopping block.
Dick Miller, assistant to the president for
government relations, said the Senate
approved a bill that apportioned $14 million
more to higher education than the governor
recommended. He said the House subcommit-
tee will ammtnd the Senate's plan and reveal
their version Thursday.
"The indications are that I the House subcommittee) will cut back the Senate level by
what (the Senate) raised it. There seems a
very good possibility there will be $14 million
cut from the appropriation." Miller said.
Miller said CMU was recommended for a 6 1
percent increase, the second highest in the
state behind University of Michigan in Flint.
Hut he doubts the appropriation will Ih- that
generous once the House subcommittee* has
made its cuts
He said he expects CMU to net around $10
million less than what was requested for the
1988-89 fiscal year, even though the request
was for $100 less per-student than the average
"We think it's fair that we aren't even asking for the average, we're asking $100 per-
student less Our appropriation will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million."
Miller said.
He said generally 58 percent of CMU's
roughly $92 million budget is supported by
state appropriations. Most of the remainder is
funded by tuition and fees, with a "minor part*
being covered by grants and contracts.
He said there will be a budget increase in
1988-89 due to the new facilities. But because
they are being opened in a staggard fashion,
the hardest blow will come in 1990-91 when all
four new facilities are on-line.
