The University of Idaho is facing a projected $14 million budget deficit, due to an overall increase in university benefit costs and a decrease in tuition revenue. The total projected deficit is the result of two factors — a change in tuition revenue, due to the university’s recent full-participation in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program, a program encompassing a collection of western states designed to allow students to study at participating universities at a decreased rate, and an increase in overall cost of benefits for university employees.
