LAS VEGAS -- Friday is a critical day for higher education in Nevada.A state sub-committee will comb through the budget to see what will stay and what will go.Thursday night, some students at University of Nevada, Las Vegas made one final push to stop major budget cuts.The students made their case about what would happen if those cuts became a reality. If they do happen, the school could be saying goodbye to nearly 6,000 students.UNLV President David Ashley will be there to fight to try to stop the cuts.“We can't agree to it, and we have to make that position very clear, so that's going to be a little tense, but the message needs to be there loud and clear,” Ashley said.UNLV is already operating on an 8 percent cut in funding in the current biennium.
