University of Montana spending frustrates Governor Schweitzer – says University of Montana officials are "tone deaf" for creating new VP after layoffs
The University of Montana’s decision to add an administrator shortly after raising tuition and cutting the hours of some of its lowest-paid employees “doesn’t make much sense,” Gov. Brian Schweitzer said on Friday.
And, the governor warned, that kind of business practice will make it more difficult to secure state funding for UM in the future.
“I’m close to throwing my hands up and walking away,” said Schweitzer, who advocated unsuccessfully for a tuition freeze in the next two years because of the downturn in the economy.
