Central Neb. university announces cuts
KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) – The University of Nebraska at Kearney has announced nearly $370,000 in proposed budget cuts. The Kearney Hub reports that Chancellor Doug Kristensen sent an email to UNK employees Thursday announcing the cuts and asking for comments. Kristensen says no job cuts are planned, but proposed reductions include not filling vacant positions. Also, planned equipment buys were adjusted and some operating accounts were cut. Kristensen says the cuts would cause some loss of fiscal flexibility in each of UNK’s colleges and in some support offices. But he said the university has to preserve its ability to deliver courses that students need to complete their programs in timely fashion. In June, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents told UNK officials to reduce the budget by more than $368,000 for fiscal year 2012.

Pelini Says Defense Will Be Ready For Saturday
The tenth-ranked Nebraska Huskers are 2-0, but the record doesn’t tell the story of some of the difficulties that the team has had getting to that point. After last week’s 42-29 win over Fresno State, the focus was on the struggles of the defense. In his typically terse Thursday post-practice remarks, Husker head coach Bo Pelini says he thinks the defense had a good week of preparation for Saturday’s game against Washington. The Huskers split with the Huskies last season, with Nebraska winning on the road and Washignton winning in the Holiday Bowl. Kickoff tomorrow at Memorial Stadium is set for 2:30.
