<div>University of Missouri President Mun Choi faced questions Wednesday from faculty after recent announcements of incoming budget cuts.“We face several emerging fiscal challenges that require careful planning and stewardship,” the president wrote in an email sent out to faculty earlier this week.The email said the university will be looking to “identify opportunities to reduce FY27 expenditures and prepare for anticipated reductions in the FY28 core budget.”It’s those opportunities to reduce expenditures that came into question on Wednesday at the Fall General Faculty Meeting.During the Q&A session, Choi said no major decisions have been made at this time, and decisions won’t be made in the future without the input of the MU Faculty Council.“There will be no major decisions about, let’s say, restructuring of departments or colleges or other aspects that will affect faculty research, academics or extension without first speaking to the Faculty Council,” Choi said.These ongoing financial woes aren’t entirely unique to Mizzou.Forbes recently reported that universities are facing financial challenges across the nation, such as at Louisiana State University, which fired 25 employees in June, and at UCLA, which faced a $220 million financial deficit for the 2025-26 fiscal year.</div>
