In an effort to dispel any rumors associated with President Ransdell's announcement of budgetary cuts last week, we want to reassure current and future clients that the Student Legal Services clinic will remain unaffected by any loss of revenue from the University. Our clinic operations will continue as usual, and we will continue to service WKU students.

Thank you and best of luck during the end of this semester,
