MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (USANN4)–In a few years, the University of Minnesota’s law school expects to be on its own. Minnesota Public Radio reports that school officials expect to lose all state funding in the near future. The law school gets about 12 percent of its funding, around $5 million, from the state.
It plans to become financially self-sufficient within a few years. That means all of the money in the University of Minnesota law school’s budget will come from tuition revenue and private donations. Officials say they will need to increase tuition revenue and private fundraising to make up for the loss of state money.
