<p>Our paper today reported that the House passed its budget, and for University funding, the net effect of the tuition increase (6%) and budget cuts resulted in only a 0.5 percent decrease in univeristy funding total for all state U’s combined (17 million total). The Senate passed its plan and the two versions have to be reconciled, but the paper did not reference the Senate version of University spending. I will research this. For schools like FSU, eliminating unfunded students (by the drop in Freshman of 1000 and of transfer of 500) there will be a net benefit.</p>
