Kentucky is facing hard times, and according to University Business it looks like the university of kentucky may share in those hard times - at least over the next year.

At the end of his first month as Kentucky's new governor, Steve Beshear says he is expecting state government in Kentucky to see a budget shortfall this year of $289 million. He's asked University of Kentucky President Lee Todd to cut the school's budget. President Todd today announced a hiring freeze and plans to slash $10 million from the university's budget this year. Half that money will come out of a reserve fund the school has.
