Eastern Kentucky University is closing a satellite campus in Somerset.
Media outlets report the university announced in a news release that the 5,000-square-foot office will close on June 30 due to state budget cuts.
EKU faces a 4.5 percent reduction in state support for each of the next two fiscal years. The news release says EKU also has an estimated $8 million in additional costs for mandated retirement contributions and other needs.
One class at the Somerset branch is scheduled to finish in June. No other classes are scheduled during the summer.
Regional campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester are unaffected by the decision.
