University of Virginia Library

Request Cut

The University's request of
$48.9 million was cut by the
budget to $41.4 million, a decrease
of 20 per cent. Most of
the new state money for the University,
about $14.9 million,
would come from the bond issue.

Other funds recommended for
the University include $15.9 million
from revenue bonds for such
projects as dormitory construction
for which rent is guaranteed,
$4.2 million from non-tax special
funds, $870,000 from the general
fund, and $5.5 million from previous
appropriations which have
not yet been spent.
