Chairman Truman Wilson plans to reschedule within two days, but if the measure isn’t sent to the Senate floor by Wednesday, it will die for a second year. University of Missouri budget cuts loom as Chancellor Herbert Schooling warns the College of Agriculture could lose nearly $1 million, with specific cuts of $600,000 to the agriculture school and $232,000 to other projects, amid broader 12 percent cuts to graduate programs and student services.
