Top administrators say students do not have reason for concern about Newman’s financial state, despite the university having to make some cost-cutting decisions this year.

Newman’s Town Hall meetings, which give the university’s president and her cabinet a chance to answer student questions, usually draw a modest crowd. But, Tuesday’s meeting was flooded with student athletes who said they were concerned about rumored cuts to their athletic scholarships.

The closing of Newman’s campus for a day shortly before Thanksgiving break was the result of rumors and a misunderstanding, Director of Security Morris Floyd now says.
