West Virginia University is facing a budget shortfall of $45 million, prompting the institution to consider cutting 32 programs including languages, literature, and more.
The Legislature's lack of interest in bailing out the state’s largest university comes as WVU struggles with the financial toll of dwindling enrollment, revenue lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and an increasing debt load for new building projects.
Students protest an administration proposal to cut 9% of majors amid a $45 million budget shortfall at West Virginia University on Aug. 21, 2023. The crisis, which the American Federation of Teachers called"draconian and catastrophic," has drawn outrage at WVU, where hundreds of students staged a protest against the cuts.
As the flagship, WVU has always received a larger share of higher education funding, state leaders say. The school received $50 million from the state just two months ago for its cancer institute. But some insist money hasn’t always been spent wisely. Professor Lisa Di Bartolomeo, who coordinates the university’s Russian studies and Slavic and East European studies programs, said the long-term effect of the program cuts will be profound. Di Bartolomeo said the blow to WVU’s language arts alone is the most extreme"that anybody has seen anywhere in the country.
