Hulbert, university president, said. \u201cThis is extremely good news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A little less than a year ago, Nicholls was told to prepare for a 25 to 35 percent decrease in funding. These projected reductions were based on Nicholls losing $7.4 million of federal stimulus funding which was part of the shortfall in state revenue of $1.6 billion. Nicholls students, faculty, staff and the community responded by letting their concerns be heard, and in December 2010, the projection was reduced to \u201cno more than a 10 percent-decrease\u201d \u2013 according to a statement released by Governor Jindal.<\/p>\n<p>The initial Executive Budget of Governor Jindal actually called for a $3.2 million increase in total funding to Nicholls, via increases in both state funding (equaling less than half of the stimulus loss) and increases in self-generated funding by increasing tuition 10 percent through a combination of the LA GRAD Act, approved last year at 5 percent, and the fourth and final year of the 5-percent increase allowed by 2008 legislation. Also in the governor\u2019s budget was a tuition cap increase, from four classes to five classes, and a 4-percent operational fee requirement, based on tuition, to follow tuition increases. It is currently fixed at the 2004 tuition level.<\/p>\n<p>Although the legislation to raise the tuition cap from four to five classes did not come to a vote on the House floor, and the 4-percent operational fee did not pass, the remainder of the legislation appears to be intact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe failure of these two measures essentially eliminated the $3.2 million increase for Nicholls,\u201d Hulbert said. \u201cNevertheless, the 10-percent tuition increase was approved, and the state funding was approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank everyone who helped to keep our funding intact \u2013 those who \u2018stood up,\u2019 the governor, and especially our legislative delegation,\u201d Hulbert added. \u201cIt was a very tough legislative session, but our delegation fought for Nicholls so that we will be able to continue the programs we currently offer our region and state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicholls will work on finalizing its 2011-12 budget, once the final figures are released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIBODAUX \u2013 Although it is too early to know the exact funding for Nicholls State University, the just-completed legislative
