| In today's Orlando Sentinel:
The University of Central Florida made nearly $13 million in state-ordered spending cuts during this school year and expects a similar cut next year, school officials said. UCF, the state's second-largest public university with 48,000 students, has not announced layoffs, and a spokesman said Monday that no major announcements were planned at this time.
But it has left open positions unfilled, hired fewer non-tenure-track faculty members and combined courses this year.
UCF guarantees admittance to graduates of Valencia, Seminole, Lake-Sumter and Brevard community colleges through a special agreement. Shugart said he has been assured the agreement will stay in effect despite looming budget cuts. |
