Academic Planning Committee Budget Hearings Set
The APC has announced a tentative schedule for Budget Hearings on proposed budget reductions, with hearings scheduled for July 30 and Sept. 18 (1-5 p.m. tentative times). The task of the APC is to review the Chancellor's proposed cuts in light of their probable impact on the university's academic mission and approve them or suggest other ways of meeting the budget reduction goal. To accomplish this task, the APC welcomes information from all who may be affected by the proposed reductions.
Information may be presented to the APC in person during scheduled budget hearings on July 30 or Sept. 18. Anyone wanting to appear at the July 30 hearing should notify the APC by 3 p.m. July 20. The APC will also consider written information about the impact of the budget reductions by contacting the Academic Planning Committee c/o Dr. William Nunez, APC Secretary, 332 Canfield Administration Building, 0435 or wnunez2@unl.edu. For more information about the APC hearing process, visit the APC Tentative Dates and Items - Phase Three of the UNL Budget Reduction Process document.
