NH Lawmakers Approve 30% Cut to University System Budget

NH State lawmakers have approved a 30 percent cut to the New Hampshire university system’s budget.

Lawmakers blame a tough budget environment as a reason for the cuts.

The GOP majority on Division Two of the House Finance Committee approved the cut along a party-line vote.

It’s still early in the budget-making process but some lawmakers say if the cuts hold up, a campus may have to be closed.
