\nKentucky State University President Raymond Burse says Governor Matt Bevin’s proposed budget cuts would create a dire financial situation that could require the school to close.<\/p>\n

Burse sent a letter Monday to faculty, staff, students and alumni informing them of the crisis, according to media outlets. Burse wrote that Bevin’s proposed budget gives KSU two options: to declare financial emergency or come up with a closure plan.<\/p>\n

Last month, Bevin proposed cutting state funding to universities by 4.5 percent for the rest of the fiscal year ending June 30. He wants to cut funding by 9 percent over the following two years.<\/p>\n

When he became president in fall 2014, Burse said he faced a budget with an operating deficit of $7 million. Since then, the university hasn’t been able to get ahead due to declining enrollment.<\/p>\n

Currently, Kentucky State University has 1,706 students enrolled. This year, the university will celebrate its 130th anniversary.
