Georgia's 35 public colleges and universities can expect to share $135 million in budget cuts. The state Board of Regents approved the 6 percent reduction plan at a Tuesday meeting. The cuts are part of a statewide strategy to deal with an estimate $1.6 billion budget shortfall in the fiscal year that began July 1. For colleges and universities, the cuts mean freezing hiring and travel, not replacing old equipment, cutting the number of books and magazines in libraries and delaying new academic programs.
