Behrend loses $lOO,OOO
to Casey’s budget axe
(Continued from Page 1)
Provost Jack Burke.
Behrend's portion of the pay
back will be over $lOO,OOO. This
amount is roughly five percent of
what the campus has available to
spend, after allocating salary
money for the year.
According to Burke, services
at Behrend may not be affected at
all.
"There is a possibility, but
it's not likely that we would cut
anything significantly." The
June deadline has administrators
searching for areas to extract the
funds from.

"That ($100,000)
doesn't sound like a
lot of money, but
... it turns out to be
a fairly substantial
amount in terms of
dollars we can
actually spend.”

Behrend, according to Burke,
is underfunded compared to the
other campuses. This has forced
the College to concentrate on
financial efficiency. "We may be
the recipient of some of the
dollars being recycled," explained
Burke.
The next few months will be
a period of tightening up. There
are no plans for cutting back
hours, however some future
projects may feel the budget
knife. "What we’ll end up doing,
is not doing some of the things
we had hoped we'd do," said
Burke.
