On Thursday, the U shared plans to make big cuts soon, just days after Minnesota State Colleges and Universities announced plans to “rightsize” their whole system.

It comes after the U approved a budget in June raising students’ tuition by 3.8%, the sixth consecutive year of increases for the U.

Loans will no longer be included in financial aid packages.

The new marketing effort, which replaces the “Driven to Discover” campaign, won’t have a tagline after the slogan “Leave a Future” was criticized last spring.

About 230 jobs at the University of Minnesota will be cut, some through layoffs and others through attrition.

The Board of Regents will vote June 26 on the tuition hike and budget cuts, which is the sixth consecutive year tuition has risen for U of M students.

A University of Minnesota spokesperson said they will integrate the sentiment into upcoming marketing efforts; officials won’t introduce a new tagline.

Scant details were available about the developer’s plans for the site, but proceeds from the sale are expected to be reinvested into the university.

The increase, which the Board of Regents will vote on June 26, is less than last year and less than Minnesota State’s average hike of 6.25%, approved last month.

From Alexandria to Winona, campuses across Minnesota will make improvements funded by the Legislature. But colleges didn’t get everything they asked for.
