$2,139,000 GONE: Proposed budget cuts make key programs disappear - Taylor Harrison and Cameron Koch, WKU Herald

WKU’s budget staff is moving forward now that decisions have been made regarding budget cuts for the coming fiscal year. The cuts were announced in an email from President Ransdell on Wednesday. Ann Mead, vice president for Finance and Administration, said in an email that “no budget reduction, small or large, is easy.” “After a series of budget reductions, our choices of where to make cuts, given a goal to protect positions, have become even more limited,” she said. “Administrative council discussed proposed budget reductions and recognized that there are pros and cons to each of the reductions. However, as a package of reductions, it’s a reasonable response to our financial challenges.” http://wkuherald.com/news/article_af213aee-b9a4-11e2-ad03-0019bb30f31a.html
