WSU President Schulz's criticism of university budget right on track - ALYSEN BOSTON, Daily Evergreen

Although campus is growing, over the last two years the university is spending more than it’s bringing in. WSU President Kirk Schulz announced his intentions to reform the university’s budget process in a newsletter released at the end of May. His statement is a positive step for the university and its new president — and it’s a no brainer that the university’s deficit spending needs to be addressed. He cited reserve spending on construction projects without clearly identified funding as a chief concern and called for the reintroduction of a formalized budget process. Joan King, chief university budget officer, said Schulz’s statement is more about getting the university’s ducks in a row than criticizing WSU’s process. http://www.dailyevergreen.com/opinion/article_d36ef54e-4d12-11e6-ae94-b710bbdb7e95.html
