Dear UNL Faculty and Staff:
This week, additional steps were taken to address our $38.2 million budget shortfall in state-aided funding in the next three fiscal years.
As I mentioned in a June communication to campus and discussed in our fall campus-wide town halls with faculty and staff in July, the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to date on our institution is substantial. While we are doing better financially than many other institutions, addressing this shortfall is requiring us to make tough choices and to take very difficult immediate and proactive financial adjustments.
