Regents Ask for 770.6 Million Increase to Raise Faculty Pay
Regents seek a 2008 09 funding boost of 770.6 million dollars nearly 57 million more than this year to cover inflation and raise salaries lagging peers. Regents President David Miles says the increase will support faculty pay and reduce belt tightening while state budget prospects remain uncertain. Senator Bob Dvorsky calls the request modest given university needs. Governor Culver plans to issue recommendations January 15 with promises of continued university funding.

No strong evidence that hypoallergenic or soy formulas prevent allergies and delaying solid foods offers no clear benefit. Experts note evolving evidence and selective peanut avoidance only with family history.
