WSU on track with budget targets - Washington State University

WSU President Kirk Schulz said Wednesday he expects to exceed first-year budget targets under the three-year effort to restore the university system’s fiscal health. “This is a testament to our faculty who were already out-producing their peers with limited budgets and our staff who worked hard to reduce costs and increase revenue,” Schulz said in his annual question-and-answer session with journalists. Schulz added that final budget numbers are still being tallied and specific figures should be available soon. Under the plan, WSU is cutting its $30 million annual operating deficit by about $10 million per year, which amounts to about a 2.5 percent reduction for each department at all five of the university system’s campuses. https://news.wsu.edu/2018/08/23/wsu-track-budget-targets/
