WKU considering $10 million more in budget cuts - AARON MUDD, BG Daily News

Expecting additional enrollment decline, Western Kentucky University is weighing a plan to cut $10,177,000 from its fiscal year 2020 budget – $3.4 million of which would come from the university’s academic colleges. The proposed cuts, on top of previous cuts of about $27 million, have WKU faculty “weary” of having to do more with less, according to the University Senate chairman. The new budget cut plan is a result of recommendations from two university committees, and it was introduced to WKU’s Board of Regents in agenda materials for the group’s second quarterly meeting Friday. https://www.bgdailynews.com/news/wku-considering-million-more-in-budget-cuts/article_f9d444a9-af84-51ee-9c0f-6414abfef2df.html
