Staff Reporter
A permanent university budgctcul
of $2.1 million will not affect specific
college programs, UNL Chancellor
Graham SpaniersaidduringTucsday’s
Academic Senate meeting.
“We won’t go into col lege budgets
and pull oik dollars,” Spanicr said.
“We will attempt to lake cuts by elimi
nating funds that
arc managed cen
trally.”

SENATE "'em reserve
funds arc the first
targeted for cuts, he said.
The budget cut, mandated by the
‘ Nebraska Legislature and approved
by Gov. Ben Nelson, will take effect
in fiscal year 1992-93.
The City Campus budget will be
reduced by S1.4 million, and S70(),()0()
will be cut from East Campus spend
ing.
Spanicr told the senate that budget
cuts w ould not directly affect student
services.
And despite cuts, he said, fall reg
istration ran more smoothly this year.
Students did not lace long wails for
registration and drop-and-add services
as in past years.
Spanicr said there also was a 27
percent reduction this fall in the num
ber of students who were closed out of
courses.
That trend should continue after
the recently approved student infor
mation system is installed in 1994,
Spanicr said. The system will con
solidate students’ campus records, and
allow class registration by telephone.
In other business, Joan Leitzel,
senior vice chancellor for academic
affairs, announced the rc-organiza
tion of the General Education Plan
ning Committee.
The committee, originally orga
nized in 1988, will focus on broaden
ing undergraduate education.
The program will “help insure that
all undergraduates arc well educated
and broadly educated,” said Bob
Bergstrom, committee chair.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
associate English professor Ned
Hedges was presented with theannual
Academic Freedom award for his con
tribulions to the University of Nc
braska-Lincoln.
Hedges was praised for his adher
ence to university bylaws during ma
jor budget cuts in the 1970s, when he
was a vice chancellor for academic
affairs.
