Where things stand on the budget

The budget approved by the state Senate early Saturday morning would generate a $9.2 million cut to WSU.

That’s quite close to the $9.4 million cut in the budget recently approved by the House of Representatives. Discussions are continuing this week ahead of Thursday’s scheduled adjournment. A special session will be called if no agreement can be reached.

In his Perspectives column, WSU President Elson S. Floyd highlights key differences.
