CWU Students Dealing With Tuition Hikes and Funding Cuts

It's a good thing the amount of student aid has increased, because so has tuition. A 14% hike has put strain on every CWU student. According to our news partner KIMA Action News In just 3 years, the percentage of operating costs that are covered by tuition has doubled. While state funding has been cut nearly in half. Annual tuition increases are expected to be the norm for years to come. Just this year, CWU suffered 30 million dollars in state funding cuts. The expectation is more cuts are on the way.
