Budget Council recommends $15 million in cuts to address deficit - Emily DeLetter, College Heights Herald

The Budget Council’s $15 million reduction to address WKU’s current budget deficit included the elimination of University College, a cut of over $1.3 million to the athletics budget, the transfer of WKU’s three regional campus to the Division of Extended Learning and Outreach and the extermination of 90 to 100 currently filled positions. These recommendations were presented at today’s Board of Regents meeting.
