Washington State University submitted its 2023-25 biennial budget requests to the State of Washington this week. In the proposals, WSU is seeking $34.5 million from the state to cover 7% compensation increases for WSU faculty and staff over two years, with a 4% increase coming in the first year of the biennium and 3% in the second year. WSU also requested that full funding be provided for pay increases for civil service employees to keep them in line with the wages earned by other state employees.
