U of N Regent Blasts Grant Sawyer Budget Cuts
University of Nevada regent Louis Lombardi accused Gov. Grant Sawyer and the legislature of failing to fund the university’s budget.

The board also reviewed a master plan to expand the Reno campus to 15000 students, including moving Mackay Stadium to reshape the central campus.
