N.C . State received a 15.1 percent budget cut from the UNC System Board of Governors July 7.

Although course section availability will dwindle, Chancellor Randy Woodson said there are currently no plans to eliminate majors. Woodson also said there is no chance of a tuition increase beyond the one that was approved last November.

Professors and faculty will carry the burdens of fewer funds.

“It may be more difficult for us to offer sufficient class sections of various courses because of limits on the faculty and staff that we have,” Woodson said.

Instead of cutting each college under the University by 15.1 percent, administrators have decided to cut seven percent from academics and 10 percent from administration. This is consistent with the Chancellor’s goal of “protecting the academic core” outlined by his realignment plan.

“Over the course of the last two years, we have been working hard to prepare this University for a significant budget reduction,” Woodson said.

Each college — across the board — will receive the directive to cut 10 percent. Individual deans will choose what to keep and what to get rid of.
