As Chancellor Rodney Bennett recently announced his plans for the next phase of budget reductions, The Daily Nebraskan is taking a look back over the past four years — about $48.1 million worth — of budget cuts across the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. University of Nebraska President Ted Carter reported in June 2023 that the shortfall had risen to $58 million for the NU system, and Bennett announced a $12 million reduction in spending at UNL in November. If UNL’s Academic Planning Committee accepts Bennett’s recommendations and returns them to his desk, Bennett’s proposed cuts would roll out over the upcoming school years.
