JEFFERSON CITY • A new legislative budget plan would zap about $8 million from the University of Missouri next budget year, an amount intended to include the salary of assistant communications professor Melissa Click.
The cut to UM is part of Republican House Budget Leader Tom Flanigan’s $27.1 billion plan for the 2017 budget year that begins July 1. Flanigan unveiled his plan this week, but the budget must be approved by the House Budget Committee and the full Legislature.
The largest portion of the UM cut — about $7.7 million— would come from the UM system administration, which Flanigan says includes the Board of Curators and the president’s office.
About $400,000 of the cut represents the salaries of Click; Mizzou’s Communication Department Chairman Mitchell McKinney; and College of Arts and Science Dean Michael O’Brien.
