Proposed NU operating budget totals $161,701,952
The recommended 1977-78 operating budget for the -University
of Nebraska will be up for consideration at the
July 30 Board of Regents meeting in Lincoln.
The operating budget, which divides state and
university funds among university programs and
departments, was prepared by the office of William
Erskine, executive vice president for administration.
The total recommended operating budget for the
University of Nebraska is $161,701,952. This amounts to
6.7 per cent of the state general fund, Erskine said.
UNL is allocated $83,533,233 out of the total budget,
compared to $74,259,128 for the 1976-77 academic year.'
The big change this year, Erskine said, is that the
Nebraska Legislature directed the University of
Nebraska to use up a cash surplus that has accumulated
over the last few years.
The cash surplus, which amounted to about $2 million,
resulted from tuition income from higher enrollments at
UNL and leftover funds from the hospital at the Medical
Center in Omaha, Erskine said. The surplus was ear
marked by the legislature for improvements in NU
departments and programs, he said.
Erskine said that the budget is a "set thing" and will
probably be approved by the Board of Regents with no
changes.
Erskine said that there were relatively few problems in
drawing up budget recommend?tions for next year.
"Our relationship with the governor, the legislature,
and the Appropriations Committee was excellent this past
year," he said.
