As a result of the drastic state-wide budget cut of $210 million, the university system must suffer cuts up to $10 million. UMaine departments must cut approximately $5 million out of the budget over the next two fiscal years, thus extinguishing numerous jobs throughout the campus. The extent of the budget cuts for each department cannot be determined as of yet, said Mary Skaggs, assistant director of stu- dent aid for student employment. Both work-study and non work- study jobs are among the many positions to be slashed from UMaine's budget. No one will know exactly how much money will be cut and what positions will be eliminated from departments until the middle of April, she said.
