University of Massachusetts President Martin Meehan is slamming the Massachusetts budget that has been proposed by the state Senate.

The budget, released on Tuesday, falls about ten-million dollars short of what UMass was looking for from the state, plus it would require the university to freeze tuition and fees next year for in-state students.
