PANIC! Budget Cuts Redux~

The list of proposed/finalized (idk?) budget cuts got released yesterday via email. You can find the full report here and the cuts themselves here. Warning: this document is long and kinda boring. I went through and pulled out some interesting cuts.

• The Oxford CMRS Exchange Program has been cut completely. Wonder how Maggie O'Brien will feel about that~
• Most departments lost some money, some more than others
• Larry Vote's summer program (I think this is the program that sends singers to Alba every summer?) got cut from 25k to only 10k.
• Nitze lost a lot (all?) of its money
• Alba-Italy Director position was cut
• Audio-Visual is losing 25k which sounds like a position has been cut
• Faculty Development lost 5k which sounds like a lot less Wine for faculty functions
• Campus Wellness Program has been cut (idk what that is, maybe First Responders Network?)
• They are removing a trash dumpster from PG FUCK THIS BULLSHIT
• River Concert Series is being reduced from 40k to 15k :/ :/ :/ (this was bound to happen eventually)

All of this is from my understanding of the spreadsheet, which may not be 100% accurate because even though I took a lot of accounting classes in high school, I never really understood it (we just shared our classwork via email, shoutout to B.A.T. c/o 2007 go Mavericks~) so I probably made some mistakes/have some misconceptions.

So there you have it, lots of cuts. I think International Education got his the hardest? Wonder how students will react~
