Education
The presidents of the state's leading research universities met with lawmakers on a House education panel Wednesday about millions of dollars in proposed cuts to post-secondary education. Governor Steve Beshear has proposed budget cuts of about 6.4 percent for post-secondary education in the next two fiscal years. Under the proposal authorities say Murray State stands to lose 3.2 million while UK could face $19.4 million in state funding reductions in July and U of L could face about $9 million in state cuts.
