Dennison will present the plan to the Board of Regents this week. It calls for cutting $1.4 million in personnel costs and $1.9 million in operations in an effort to plug a hole caused by the disappearance of one-time federal stimulus dollars.
The cuts may mean fewer adjunct professors, less overtime pay, increased teaching loads and eliminating vacant jobs.
The budget proposal also calls for a 1.5 percent tuition increase, re-examining the cost of credits and increasing the transaction fee for students paying tuition with a credit card.
