Here's a story that hits close to home for journalism students. The ASWSU cut funding to the collegiate newspaper program from $60 thousand to $10 thousand. ASWSU found that the free papers provided by the New York Times were not being read by undergraduate students, who were the ones paying for the papers through S&A fees. As such, newspaper availability on campus has drastically dropped, which is a danger to having informed students when it comes to current events, only partially offset by the ability to get news online.

Additionally, last week saw a campus celebration for the WSU foundation's multi-year campaign. Festivities occurred on the Terrell Mall to commemorate nine years of raising over $1 billion. This fundraising will go back into the university in the form of scholarships, research funding, and many other areas that will impact all members of the campus community.
