Richmond BizSense has an article on cuts to higher ed in the state, including VCU.

Virginia Commonwealth University is expected to lose $15.2 million. VCU’s overall budget for 2009-10 is $827 million.
VCU will make cuts by leaving unfilled positions open while cutting down on travel, equipment, supplies and training and support for computer centers and systems, said spokesperson Pam Lepley.
VCU, along with the other schools, is waiting for the governor’s office to give them more information, so they can determine what to do, she said.

This follows an earlier article on the topic that appeared in VCU’s Commonwealth Times.
