State budget could mean a rise in tuition at UConn, university president says - Ayah Galal and Evan Sobol, WFSB

Frustration is growing at the University of Connecticut following Governor Ned Lamont’s state budget address on Wednesday. The president of UConn is raising a red flag over how the budget will potentially slash funding for the university. Dr. Radenka Maric is concerned about what this will mean for the future of UConn. Maric said if the budget gets passed, it’ll leave the university with a $160 million shortfall next year alone.
