Update on state budget issues

Those of us who work for The University of Arizona are watching and listening to see how the Arizona Legislature and Gov. Janet Napolitano resolve the challenges brought on by the state budget shortfall. Their decisions will no doubt affect how we do our jobs this year and next. For a review of the current budget proposals under consideration, you might want to check out State Government Update #1 prepared by the UA Government Relations office. You'll notice that the governor is proposing funding to develop the College of Pharmacy on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus in her FY 2009 plan.
