Buffalo News: GOP bill to cut budget would hit UB and WNY hard

An article on the front page of the Buffalo News looks at the impact a funding bill proposed by the House Republicans would have on Western New York, and reports that UB stands to lose between $17 million and $18 million in funding if the cuts go through. The article quotes Alexander Cartwright, vice president for research, who said the budget reductions would hit Buffalo especially hard. "This area," he said, "is in need of every bit of resources it can get." A related article details some of the programs targeted in the cuts, including Pell Grants for college students, UB's projected loss of $17 million in research funding and a projected 10 percent cut in funding to WBFO-FM.
