Governor’s Proposed Cuts to WWU Next School Year:
• $5 million cut from WWU's budget. This would eliminate educational programs, classes, teachers, and/or cutting staff jobs, pay, hours, or benefits
• 14% tuition hike in addition to this year's 14% hike
• Suspension of Work Study program for 1 year, eliminating 435 jobs
• Cut $300,000 from financial aid programs
• All this on top of $12 million previously cut from this year's and next year's budget
Our Alternative:
- No cuts in jobs, wages, hours, or benefits of university employees
- No budget cuts to education and vital public services
- No tuition hikes or cuts in financial aid
- Get a full federal bailout for state jobs and education
