Bob Wise told West Virginia college and university presidents to prepare for an across-the-board midyear reduction of up to 2.7 percent or 9.3 million as lagging tax collections press for a 2.5 to 3 percent cut to avoid a 20 million shortfall. He noted a final decision within days while administrators push for alternatives to the 34 million cut next year.
