Northern Arizona University is projecting a decrease in both revenue and expenses for fiscal year 2026, according to a budget presentation at last week’s meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR).

ABOR approved the fiscal year 2026 budgets for all three of Arizona’s public universities during its June 12 meeting. These included projections of the universities' revenue, expenses and days cash on hand, as categories such as the state budget and enrollments for the upcoming school year are not yet finalized.
