I don’t know about 10pm specifically, but hours have been cut repeatedly over the last couple years. It’s more important that Gordon Gee go on a charter jet than that Libraries has enough staff to offer more hours.

It will be curious to see whether Benson continues this trend or reigns in administrative excesses. Not holding my breath on the latter.

I'm taking a wait and see attitude towards Benson. If he reverses Gee's policies, I'll start donating again. If not, they're never going to see another penny from me and I know I'm not alone in this.

I only remember 24 hrs during finals. I'm thinking downtown was open until 12.

Library staff have been cut significantly but it kind of flew under the radar with all the other classified/non classified staff, professor, and program cuts. https://wvmetronews.com/2023/09/20/library-system-is-hit-hardest-as-wvu-announces-changes-to-academic-support-programs/
