Rod Blagojevich asked public universities to set aside 8 percent of this year's operating budg et to be possibly requested by the state later on. The budget requests came early this month so the governor has time to prepare for his budget address which will take place around the first week of April. Each university was given until midnight Thursday to report to the Bureau of the Budget area's funds can be squeezed from in the three months left in this year's fiscal budget. The midnight deadline was given following a meeting with the bureau Wednesday in Springfield. Intertm President Lou Hencken called a meeting Thursday afternoon with executives of university committees to discuss the situation. The university divided cuts that will total about $3 million from 15 areas, with 2 percent already in reserve. The reserve amount and cuts combined will equal $4.1 million.
