The University of Colorado Boulder has proposed an $873 million budget that will address campus maintenance, secure insurance funds and compensate faculty for the 2018-19 academic year.
Last year’s budget was about $823 million.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, who released the state’s budget proposal in November, proposed 9.7 percent or $86.9 million increase in higher education funding over the previous year, according to state budget documents.

The university proposes increasing spending for controlled maintenance by $3.7 million to $20.2 million.
