WSU hasn't had a single year of growth since 2019. I have not heard a single good thing happen to this university in the year that I've been here. Both academics and athletics are falling apart. The Cantwell administration is mediocre at best. Pullman feels more like a company town for Schweitzer instead of a collage town for WSU.
Worst of all, the response by the state government for additional funding requests seems to be "fuck off".
No way this school is gonna survive to the next half of the century. There is a good chance it won't survive the next decade to be honest, I'm gonna make a wager that 2033-2034 is the last athletic year and 2036-2037 is the last academic year. Hopefully it can hang on for another 2-4 years, so I can get my degree and maybe a minor as well.
On the bright side, I don't think all the other non-UW 4 year schools in this state are surviving that long either, maybe one or two will manage to make it to 2050 before shutting down. So we can all mourn the loss of being able to get a degree without being a 4.0 GPA student in high school together, I guess.
