The president of the University of
Minnesota is at the Legislature to explain how the university will
manage $36 million in proposed cuts in state funding.

      President Robert Bruininks is scheduled to testify
Thursday afternoon before the House committee on higher education.

      Pawlenty's proposed solution to a projected $1.2 billion
shortfall would shave $47 million from state appropriations for the
state's two higher education systems.

      According to the university, Bruininks is expected to make the
case that with the $36 million cut, state support for the
university is about the same as it was 10 years ago.
