Financial Struggles at WVU Lead to Program Cuts, Staffing Reductions, and Tuition Increases.

West Virginia University's plan to cut programs and faculty in the face of a projected $75 million budget shortfall has been met with pushback from faculty members who feel excluded from the process and anxious about its potential scale. The university's provost hopes to offer more information and a better sense of the impact of the cuts in the coming weeks. Faculty members are also concerned about recent changes to tenure protections and the university's enrollment decline, which has fallen 10% since 2015.
