Reports & Updates

A message from Pullman Chancellor Elizabeth Chilton about Tyre Nichols.

Because of the close proximity to the Pullman campus, a WSU Alert was issued out of an abundance of caution advising of the nearby public safety threat and urging people to avoid the area.

The university system will deepen and expand its impact by building on the strengths of each campus and location for a stronger Washington state and global community.

WSU is seeing early indications of a return to pre‑COVID application levels thanks to the coordinated efforts of faculty and staff across the university system.

The university introduces four system-level priorities and metrics geared to help reach its strategic plan goals. The report on these efforts shares progress and next steps.

Fresh daily lineups, along with the daily push email, will return next week. The WSU Announcements section will continue to be updated daily.

Sometimes academia can be rough. We have real challenges with staffing shortages, equipment needs, and turnover without the ability to be fully nimble in our responses. But there is something. Something in our many missions that compel faculty and staff to stay and discover, educate, and reach out.

The response was tremendous. Thank you to the more than 2,000 faculty and staff members who provided honest feedback, including the submission of more than 1,100 thoughtful comments.

As a new budget model that can better align WSU’s resource allocation with its strategic priorities is finalized, a governance process to support the implementation of the new model also is being developed.

At WSU, our priority remains protecting the health and well-being of our Cougar family.
