Cuts are necessary in times of economic duress. However, as an alumnus of WLU, I find it entirely fatuous and disgraceful that I am casually asked--unsolicited, mind you--for donations on top of the debts I already owe; this, of course, also being in light of increasing tuition costs, failure to substantially increase the pay wages and benefits of both professorial staff and students, and so forth. Perhaps most alarming is that these "necessary" cuts are announced with little warning or notice to whom are affected the greatest by this: the student body. If WLU is having difficulty with solvency, then mayhap they would do well to not hire disgraced former employees and reward them with six-figure salaries and a $1000 per month parking allotment. It certainly has not yet been tried.
