Kentucky’s House budget, revealed Tuesday, restored state funding the governor recommended cutting from higher education, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.
But for now, that won’t make a difference to the employees of Morehead State University, who will be furloughed during the college’s spring break.
When Morehead State announced the five-day furlough last week, President Wayne Andrews said the institution needed to prepare for a proposed cut in state funding.
But at least for now, it is the college’s responsibility to continue planning for the worst, said Beth Patrick, Morehead State’s chief financial officer and vice president for administration.
“While we are very hopeful and appreciative of the work the House has done to approve a budget that restored the proposed cuts to postsecondary education,” she said in an email, “we also recognize that much work remains before a budget is finalized.”
