The conservative budget which was implemented at the beginning of this fiscal year has been seriously impacted by the subsequent reductions. In order to meet the challenge, UAPB has frozen all spending, vacant positions, supplies, travel, etc. and all other operational costs which can be discontinued. Only critical needs having prior approval will be allowed. Also, we decreased adjunct faculty cadre which in turn reduces services to students. Should the current conditions continue then serious accreditation issues may emerge.
