The Governor's Office announced yesterday the need for across the board cuts to state services, including higher education, to fill a budget gap in the current fiscal year (http://governor.wa.gov/execorders/eo_10-04.pdf).The specific level of cuts is expected to be announced later this week.  The Governor took the action based on shortfalls in state revenue collections and revenue projections for the remainder of the 2009-11 biennium (through June 30, 2011).
