WSU cutting 3 of 9 VP positions - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Washington State University spokesman says the school is eliminating three of nine vice president positions in a reorganization driven primarily by budget forces. Spokesman Darin Watkins says there will be no faculty or staff job losses as a result of the change. Watkins tells The Moscow-Pullman Daily News the university will see immediate savings of $700,000 to $900,000. He notes that the university this week was asked to prepare for budget cuts of anywhere between 4 percent and 7 percent.
