Dear Campus Community:
On Friday, June 10, the University of Minnesota Board of Regents approved the university's budget for the 2017 fiscal year, which begins on July 1, 2016. UMD's allocation is detailed below. As you can see, we received additional state resources this year, even though the University of Minnesota system did not receive any additional state funding for general operations. In addition, our undergraduate tuition will see no increase this year. Soon, I will send another budget communication, which will provide additional details about the status of our budget. I will also give you updates during the summer on the progress of our budget reduction strategies. Meanwhile, contact me or Steve Keto if you have questions or would like additional information.
Best wishes,
Lynn Black
