Town Hall Meeting on May 26th Confirmed; Proposed University Budget Released

On Friday President Machen released the proposed University Budget. The Smathers Libraries, including the Health Science Center Libraries (HSCL), will not have any faculty or staff layoffs and there will be no reduction (other than the loss of purchasing power) in our materials budgets. The Libraries budget will be reduced by $642,296 (2.4%), based on the Libraries priorities as submitted.

A town hall meeting on the Libraries budget is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, at 2 p.m. in Smathers 1A. At that meeting we will discuss the implications of the Libraries' budget cuts identified by President Machen.
