A fourth budget scenario was presented Thursday at a Slippery Rock University Council of Trustees’ finance and administrative affairs committee meeting.

The fourth scenario could result in a deficit of more than $6.3 million.

The fourth scenario differs in that it anticipates no increase in tuition and additional factors such as delays in hiring personnel and increasing intercession costs.
