Directed by Spink, the college is going through an examination of its strengths and weaknesses in an effort to boost its enrollment and retain more state funding. To retain all of its allocated state funding, the college must have at least 6,626 full-time students - or their equivalent in part-time students under a formula established by the state. Last year, the college had the equivalent of 6,384 full-time students, an enrollment level that cost it about $110,000 in funding. With a full-time enrollment projection of 6,398 this year, the college faces the prospects of losing $100,000 to $110,000 more. In addition, there is growth money available in the state budget - as much as $1 million - the college could receive if it were to boost enrollment to 7,237 full-time students. |
