Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard may look good to the faculty members he lavished 13 percent raises upon, but not so good to families and students paying higher tuition for raises. GOV. Chris Gregoire and state budget writers have every reason to be furious at Western Washington University for lavishing big raises on school faculty. Washington is still in an excruciatingly slow economic recovery. Revenues are flat. It was no time for WWU President Bruce Shepard to agree to a deal that calls for university faculty to receive 5.25 percent annual raises in 2012-13 and 4.25 percent per year increases in the 2013-15 biennium.
