UNIVERSITY BUDGET UPDATE FROM THE CABINET:
The Iowa General Assembly has not finished the fiscal year 2004 state
budget. We will not know the specifics about UNI funding until the
state budget is finalized. The university will meet the contractural
provisions negotiated for salary increases, but there will not be
an increased appropriation for salaries and it is very likely that
our base budget will be reduced again before the legislature adjourns.
Therefore, multiple strategies will have to be used to offset the
loss of state apropriations, including the use of new tuition revenue
and internal reallocations. We will keep the campus informed as more
information is known. Call Brenda at 3-2566 if you have questions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------ÝÝÝ
PAPER PURCHASES: UNI is mandated

in Purchasing if you have extenuating circumstances.

from the campus. Please encourage students, faculty and staff to review

and suggestions. The plan and an e-mail feedback link are posted at
