Impact of Governor’s Budget Reductions on Community Colleges May 22 – Community College League of California

BUDGET CUTS IMPERIL COMMUNITY COLLEGES
The Administration announced it would seek to cut, not borrow, an additional $5.5 billion. The implications for community colleges are enormous, particularly when added to the cuts proposed last week. Overall funding per full-time equivalent student would fall by $624 over two budget years, from $5,812 in 2008-09 to $5,188 in 2009-10.

Highlights of the budget proposal include:

• Elimination of the Cal Grant
• Current year cuts to categorical programs of 14.7 percent
• Reductions in categorical programs for 2009-10 of 57.2 percent
• Fee spike to $60 per unit (Legislative Analyst’s Office proposal)
