Even if things remain uncertain at the Capitol, the University of Minnesota will review and pass a budget next month.
At a recent meeting, U President Robert Bruininks previewed what that budget might include. A wage freeze. A 5 percent tuition increase for resident undergraduates. The U contributing less to new employees' retirement plans.
Have an opinion about those changes? The Board of Regents wants to hear from you.
To speak, you must register ahead of time. Call 612-625-6300 or email uregents@umn.edu (Subject Line: Public Forum) by 3:00 p.m. Monday, June 6 with your name, email, phone number, the group you represent (if any), your relationship to the University and a general presentation topic.
The regents' website notes that "the forum will be video-conferenced on the coordinate campuses and speakers from those campuses are welcomed."
The board is set to vote on the budget June 20.
