CU’s budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year came into sharper focus Friday with the Board of Regents voting to approve the administration’s recommendations on tuition, student fees, and faculty and staff compensation.

Growing up, Jenny Knight’s mind concentrated on how things worked. Plants and animals were fascinations; by the time she was a college student, she zoomed in on the workings of the brain. “I was a biology major with a concentration in neuroscience and then went on to get a Ph.D. in neuroscience,” she said. “I just got fascinated by how this incredibly complex system, our brain, governs everything we do." A professor of Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology at CU Boulder, Knight last year was named a President’s Teaching Scholar at CU.
