Trustees OK $551.8 million ‘continuation’ budget

Singletary sees no forward movement,

further losses in faculty salary position

By BRAD COOPER
Editor~in~Chief

The Board of Trustees approved a
$551.8 million operating budget that
President Otis A. Singletary said
was “painful” to present at his last
board meeting.

After a legislative session that al»
located money to the University for
a supercomputer and a robotics cen~
ter, this year's budget does not
equal that promise. he said.

“When we adopted the operating
budget last year. we were on a good
high ~ we were positive about
things,“ he said. “That position has
deteriorated rapidly since then. “

During fiscal year 1987, the Uni- it would have to place 1 percent of

verSity was forced unexepectedly tt
cut $5.5 million from its budget be
cause of an 89 million shortfall ir
the state‘s revenue.

0f the $5.5 million in cuts, $4.5
million came from program support
and $1 million came from the Uni-
versity‘s debt service.

The University anticipated the
state's projected shortfall of $130
million for next fiscal year by set-
ting aside a reserve fund of $4.5 mil-
lion.

On May as, the administration was
notified that the University would in
fact face a recurring cut of $4.9 mil-
lion.

UK officials purchase
insurance for employees
