U of M regents taking public comments on 2012 budget

The University of Minnesota board of regents is taking feedback from the public, and from members of the university community, on the 2012 budget proposal until 1pm today.

So far we've heard from a few employees, some who support the budget proposal, others who say it falls too heavily on the shoulders of the U's lowest paid workers.

The forum is being web streamed live on the U of M's site.
