flag The University of Maine faces an $18M shortfall, raising tuition and cutting staff and programs to ensure sustainability.

flag The University of Maine faces an $18 million budget shortfall and plans a 3.9% tuition increase for in-state students and 4% for out-of-state students, raising costs to $13,230 and $38,340 respectively. flag To close the gap, the university will cut $11.3 million from its budget, use $5.5 million in reserves, seek $2.3 million in state funding, and eliminate fewer than 10 staff positions without laying off faculty. flag The financial challenges stem from inflation, declining enrollment, reduced federal funding, and deferred maintenance. flag The school is reviewing all academic programs, with potential eliminations including the Master of Arts in Teaching Spanish and a suspension of the medical laboratory sciences bachelor’s degree, as part of a broader effort to ensure long-term sustainability.
