The University of Minnesota will receive no state funding after the state Legislature failed to pass a roughly $1 billion bonding bill in the waning hours of the session Sunday night.
The University had requested about $236 million from the state to help pay for infrastructure projects and building repairs.
After a bonding bill passed through the House with minutes to spare Sunday night, it was sent to the Senate, where it was amended to include funding for a proposed Southwest light rail line from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie.
