UNO faces more job cuts as state to cut funding

The University of Nebraska system will cut up to 300 jobs, NU President J.B. Milliken said at the special budget cutting session of the Nebraska Legislature.

Milliken said the budget cuts will most impact the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Kearney because those universities have an higher emphasis on faculty salary.

UNO faces a 3.8 percent salary increase over the next two years, per a ruling by the State Commission on Industrial Relations, a ruling that has been appealed.
