Pulling the plug — A perfect storm is brewing that could change higher education

In front of hundreds of students, faculty and staff this month, Matthew Holland laid out the dire financial situation at Utah Valley University.

The university is set to become the largest one in Utah come fall. It plans on adding 350 faculty and staff over the next 10 years, but it also needs over $45 million more from the state in that time period to deal with the surging enrollment.

"We are to be commended for doing more with less, but we cannot continue on this trajectory and survive," Holland said. "We cannot continue to cut and do what we need to do. We cannot take on additional students without additional resources."
