UM Athletic Director Kent Haslam said planning for the new Jacobson Academic Center (known as JAC to those who use it) began years ago — before even a hint of budget cuts surfaced. “The new Academic Center is completely funded by donors and private funding,” Haslam said. “If we didn’t build this, that wouldn’t help the budget at all.” Michael Reid, vice president for administration and finance, confirmed that the facility is funded by private dollars alone. Since the funds were all do- nated, Haslam said none of the money is allowed to go toward anything else — it will be used to build the facility or give peo- Thom Bridge/Montana Kaimin ple their money back, he said.
