Most Wyoming students are well aware that the university, and the state is on the verge of eight percent budget cuts. Eight percent may not seem like a large amount; after all, 92 percent of the budget gets to stay. However, due to the large number of university employees and activities eight percent means eight percent of the staff and activities are in danger of being cut. Budget cuts are hard to face, but what makes the situation laughable is that now the university is asking for a three percent pay raise. It is highly unlikely that the proposal will be granted seeing as it comes during a tough economic climate. In this economy having a well paying job with partner benefits is a lucky break and better than most. It is outrageous to ask for pay raises when many people may find themselves jobless by the end of the fall semester.
