State delay in
funding cause
for concern
[Editorial] As
reported by Anne
Ryman in the
Arizona Republic
Jan. 8, “the
state in
December delayed
a $75 million
payment to the
university
system as a way
to free up cash
flow because of
the state’s
financial
crisis.” This is
the third time
in less than a
year that
payment has been
delayed and the
first time that
university
leaders have not
agreed expressly
to the delay.
