WIU President Tells Campus to Make Cuts
MACOMB, Ill. (AP) -- Western Illinois University President Al Goldfarb is telling university administrators to cut spending next year by 3.5 percent to prepare for upcoming cuts in state funding.

Gov. Pat Quinn introduced a budget this week that would make deep cuts in education spending as part of a plan to reduce the state's budget deficit.

If the budget is passed, Western's state appropriation for the next fiscal year would be cut by $3.7 million to $56.2 million.

Goldfarb told the vice presidents of each of Western's divisions on Thursday to work the next few weeks on where to make cuts.
