Governor Jay Inslee

Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2024 supplemental operating budget proposal would provide $6 million to help WSU compete in carbon allowance auctions.

Inslee got a behind-the-scenes tour of the WSU Bear Center as well as the new Family Medicine Residency program at Pullman Regional Hospital as part of his visit to the Palouse Thursday.

In addition to funding a significant portion of WSU’s compensation request for 2023–25, the operating budget includes millions for new degree programs, scholarships and university-affiliated centers across the state.

If embraced by the legislature, WSU would receive about $4.44 million annually in state support to establish two new academic programs to help meet the state’s cybersecurity workforce needs for the future.

The deadline for faculty and staff to declare their status was Aug. 23.

Data on student vaccination rates was provided during Thursday’s Returning to WSU: Fall Semester Town Hall. The event was broadcast on Youtube and is available for anyone who missed it.

WSU encourages everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they’re eligible and to remain vigilant in combating the spread of infections.
