The University of Maine plans to reduce its budget by $5.6 million. This will result in layoffs for fewer than 10 staff members in the next fiscal year. An $18 million budget shortfall challenges the university. Other cost savings include unfilled positions and using gift or grant funds. Despite these measures, state appropriations increased by $2.3 million.
