Higher-ed leaders say Burgum's budget is good starting point, but more dollars needed to avoid tuition hikes - Joe Banish, Grand Forks Herald

State higher education leaders say while Gov. Doug Burgum's proposed higher education budget is a good start for the upcoming biennium, more funding will be needed to avoid future tuition hikes. The proposed budget, which would span from 2023-25, totals $683.1 million, a decrease of 0.5% from the previous biennium. According to Chancellor Mark Hagerott, Burgum’s proposed budget largely aligns with that of the North Dakota University System’s requests.
