University of Alberta plans four per cent budget cut in 2018-19

Facing an escalating structural deficit for the second time in four years, the University of Alberta is planning an across-the-board budget cut of four per cent in the next fiscal year, with further 2.5 per cent reductions proposed in each of the two following budgets.
To try to eliminate or at the very least curb its $14-million structural deficit, the university announced Tuesday it is asking faculties and administrative units to find “efficiencies” to reduce costs.
