Morehead State University's president is warning Kentucky lawmakers that deep budget cuts could wipe out progress made by public universities since the late 1990s.

Morehead President Wayne D. Andrews spoke today to a House budget subcommittee along with the presidents of Eastern Kentucky University and Northern Kentucky University.

Governor Steve Beshear's budget plan proposed no cuts in state general fund appropriations to the universities in the first year of the two-year budget cycle, but included a 2 percent cut in the second year.

Beshear's budget assumed about $780 million in expanded gaming revenues that top lawmakers say will not materialize. University presidents are worried that unless lawmakers find alternative funds, their campuses could face steep double-digit cuts in the next budget.
