2008 Supplemental Budget Request
WSU Tri-Cities Enrollment (PL-TE)
Click here, for a printer-friendly version.
$512,000 is requested for an additional 40 students to be added to the campus
FTE base beginning in FY2008.
Seventy more freshmen enrolled at the campus this fall than were funded in the
biennial budget. WSU Tri-Cities is
currently over-enrolled by 50 students and it is projected to be over-enrolled
in the spring due to expansions this spring in nursing and other programs.

NARRATIVE JUSTIFICATION AND IMPACT STATEMENT
Why is this request an urgent need?
The recent over-enrollment is a result of the strong business and community
support for a four-year program in this part of the state. The legislature
funded the first cohort of 50 freshmen for the Tri-Cities but an additional 70
freshmen students have enrolled. It is vital that WSU Tri-Cities have a full
academic program in place, to ensure that there are sufficient lower division
courses available to all of these new students.
This new funding would add three faculty in the first year and a fourth
in the second year to offer lower division courses that the new freshmen need
and that have not been offered before. The funding would also ensure that there
are sufficient classes available for next year, when these students become
sophomores.
