President Shepard sends message to campus regarding the House budget proposal released April 4

Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard sent a message to the campus community regarding the budget proposal released Monday, April 4, by the state House.

In his message, Shepard calls the House proposal a "fair start on a tough situation" and notes that the Senate proposal is due to be released soon, probably early next week. Then, legislators from the state House and Senate cobble together a compromise budget. That could take some time to complete, Shepard says.

The full proposal from the House is available online in PDF format.
