Missouri Western State University faces potential funding cuts under a new budget proposal that would redistribute higher education funding based on student numbers. The university was set to receive $27.2 million in FY 2027, but would now only receive $21.12 million under the new plan. The Missouri House of Representatives has given initial approval to the proposal, which is expected to be voted on Thursday before moving to the Senate. If passed, the university could lose millions in state funding.
