Washington State University administrators are expecting a decline in tuition revenue during the current fiscal year.
The apparent drop in enrollment is revealed in a message from WSU Vice President of Finance and Administration Stacy Pearson which was sent to faculty and staff last week. The statement says that while an improving economy leaves WSU’s current fiscal year state funding intact, an estimated decline in tuition revenue of between 18 and 23 million dollars requires the university to operate with lesser budgets.
WSU will conduct its official ten-day enrollment count for the semester on Friday.
