President Kay Norton reflected on her 10 years as president during the annual Tuesday.
Norton says, during her tenure, public universities in Colorado have transformed dramatically. They were once organized and operated as a state agency. But she says that has changed as state funding has decreased.
鈥淭oday, when we talk about budget, it鈥檚 from a university perspective. It鈥檚 all UNC money- primarily from students- and we鈥檙e committed to being transparent about how we spend it.鈥�
Norton says like other Colorado universities, UNC is working to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on state revenue. And, she says the development of academic programs is no longer based on expectations from the state, but instead on university needs.
