Provost Kimo Ah Yun said the university is operating under a current budget shortfall that is estimated between $9 million and $9.5 million. Members of the Marquette community were in the back of the AMU ballrooms during the academic senate meeting with signs saying “Open the Books,” “Where’s the Money” and others in reference to the university’s financial situation. The same situation was echoed on the Teams call of the meeting, with some participants changing their profile pictures to reflect the same message.
