Marshall University officials are hopeful early signs of increased student enrollment and use of on-campus housing will help the university reverse a budget deficit. Marshall Chief Financial Officer Matt Tidd said the university is set to end the fiscal year with a multi-million dollar operating loss. “We’re projecting about $308.5 million in total revenue against $333 million in total expenses. That’s a $24 million financial statement loss expected for this current fiscal year on a budgeted deficit of about $19 million,” Tidd told members of the Marshall University Board of Governors last week.
