Budget cuts at WSU mean the loss of faculty and programs around campus - Drew Reeves, KXLY

Washington State University is taking big steps to solve its budget deficit, requiring each department on campus to make cuts. The school is trying to make up a $30 million annual deficit. The school says these cuts mean faculty members will lose their jobs and some programs will have to be eliminated. "We're doing this in a very deliberate way," said Phil Weiler, WSU's vice president of marketing and communications. "Rather than waiting a couple years and say we're looking toward the edge of the cliff, we're turning around before we get to that cliff."
