As a decade of declines in state higher education spending nears an end, Western Kentucky University’s Faculty Senate approved a resolution Thursday demanding that WKU’s athletics division shoulder a greater share of budget cuts being made on the Hill. “We are no longer cutting fat. We are removing vital organs,” said art history professor Guy Jordan, who chairs the Faculty Senate’s Budget and Finance Committee, which drafted the resolution. Introducing his committee’s resolution, Jordan pointed to more than $20 million he said WKU has lost in state funding over the past decade. He put the exact number at $20,126,000.
