flag UNT faces $45M budget gap due to falling international enrollment and state funding cuts, prompting program cuts and enrollment reforms.

flag The University of North Texas faces a $45 million budget shortfall, up from $31.2 million in August, driven by a sharp drop in international graduate student enrollment—from 6,200 to under 3,400—due to travel restrictions and federal scrutiny. flag This decline, coupled with reduced state funding tied to enrollment, has cost the university about $32 million in state support. flag President Harrison Keller called the deficit structural, prompting plans for program consolidations, higher teaching loads, and a voluntary faculty separation program, though no specific departments or targets have been set. flag The school aims to grow enrollment through online programs and community college transfers, while maintaining a tuition-free promise for qualifying Texas students. flag Keller urged reforming state funding to reward graduation and job placement rates instead of credit hours, citing a similar model used for community colleges.
