It's been called futile and unlikely to ever become reality. It's the 2011-2013 budget request for the Nevada System of Higher Education. Depending on how you crunch the numbers, the system's regents have requested the same budgeting as the last biennium or a 25% increase. In any case, the Board of Regents has defied the Governor's request for a 10% cut. We talk with Chairman of the Board of Regents James Dean Leavitt about the board's budget and what he thinks the Legislature will do with it next year.
