GALVESTON — Facing a $40 million deficit due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston will be reopening clinics, cutting salaries and reducing work hours for employees.
“We’re spending a lot of money and not making a lot of money,” Raimer said. “Now has come the time for us to sort of pay the piper. We’ve been losing $1.5 million a day. We find ourselves at this time over $40 million in the hole and facing more bills as they roll in.”
