(Minneapolis, MN) — Officials with the University of Minnesota are set to request a nearly 15-percent boost in aid from the legislature.
U-of-M officials told the Board of Regents Thursday that they want to ask for the extra funding to help cover costs related to inflation.
The bump would also go toward improving safety on the Twin Cities campus and upping financial aid to students statewide.
The funding request would add 80 million dollars to the university’s budget for the 2023-2024 school year.
