i over last year’s $255 per student per
semester. Next year, students will pay
1 $270 per semester.
James Griesen, vice chancellor

wide 4.75 percent wage increase and
increases in insurance.
The budget is divided into two
parts, fund A and fund B.
Fund A consists of the budgets for
ASUN, the Daily Nebraskan, UPC
and the Lied Center for Performing
Arts. All of these can be reimbursed
to the student if requested.
The total for fund A is tentatively
approved as $516,674 or $10.83 per
student per semester.
Fund B includes the budgets for
Nebraska Unions, University Health
Center, the Campus Recreation
Center, Debt Services and a contin
gency fund.
CFA approved the budget of
$10,476,048 for fund B, which is
$257.79 per student per semester.
The total of the fund A and fund B
budgets comes to $269.33 per stu
dent.
As recommended by Griesen, the
number was rounded up to $270.
The committee approved the bud
get with a vote of 8-1.

approved a budget of $2,341,828 for
the Nebraska Unions, $10,312 less

“This is more than giving money
away,” Davis said. “It’s a commit
ment to people’s lives.”
Davis said his goal within the
next 10 years is to have private dona
tions exceed the amount of money
the state gives.
“I have an expectation for suc

to the private community and say we
need to participate more.”
