As time trickles away, negotiations continue between the University of Minnesota and Fairview to fund the University’s medical school.

The University’s current deal with Fairview expires Dec. 31, 2026. The negotiations come after regents voted on a new budget in June that saw reductions in academic program funding and increases in tuition.

Several medical school department chairs, in a June letter to the University’s Board of Regents, warned that the medical school is in “great jeopardy” if a new deal is not reached this year, according to the Star Tribune.
