University System of New Hampshire

Un nuevo estudio de Dartmouth encontró que las sequías en el Noreste se han hecho menos intensas y menos frecuentes desde mediados de los ochentas.

El sistema universitario de New Hampshire va a ofrecer matrículas gratis a nuevos estudiantes que sean residentes y las familias generen menos de $100,000 al año.

The school already faces a $3.3 million deficit. The redesign includes separating Keene State into three schools by subject.

The state budget cut higher education funding by $35 million over two years, leading to staff cuts and tuition increases. Now, senators from both parties have proposed new spending to mitigate the impacts.

Melinda Treadwell, who served as Keene State College president for eight years, is leaving the state for another job. Plymouth State University President Donald Birx will fill her role through at least June – while keeping his.

The decision to increase tuition after six years of keeping costs stable was made independent of the state budget, but the decrease in funding didn’t help either.

USNH Chancellor Catherine Provencher said she could manage Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s proposed 4% reduction — bringing state funding down from $95 million to $91.2 million each year — but the House’s reduction would tank annual funding to $66.2 million.

Algunos abogados de la ACLU de NH dicen que varias demandas en contra del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional van a permitir que los estudiantes internacionales retomen sus clases.

If the legislators’ proposed reduction holds, the USNH would be receiving $28.8 million less annually in the coming two years.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte has proposed cutting public college and university funding by 8%, which USNH's Chancellor says will require "difficult decisions."
