Legislative wrap: Higher ed
In addition to an overall 4.7 percent budget increase, each institution "got something," Buhler said. The only additional money was a $2 million fulfillment of a $10 million commitment made last year to fund the transition of Utah Valley State College to a full-fledged university.
No new campus buildings were approved, except for the University of Utah's Natural History Museum, which received $25 million in funding. Lawmakers paid off a $1.6 million bond for Snow College and funded some non-state buildings, including parking structures. An approval for the Utah State University Agriculture building was made contingent upon receipt of federal money.
Legislators made a "modest investment," Buhler said, in the Regent's Scholarship, to get it off the ground in its first year.
