AVC is looking at cutting more than $1.2 million over this coming summer's courses and summer 2004 - a 50 percent reduction. The college is also projecting savings of $125,000 next school year by dropping Friday afternoon and Saturday courses. How those cuts will be implemented isn't clear. The college faces a quandary: If it cut classes, enrollment - and funding that goes with it - goes down too. The state has an enrollment stability fund to offset enrollment declines for colleges. With the fund, the college would lose one-third of the revenue from the enrollment drop the first year, two-thirds the second year, and the full amount the third year. However, Brundage said state legislators have indicated that they are looking at cutting the stability fund as part of its cuts to deal with the budget crisis. AVC has already taken a number of budget-savings moves, including instituting a hiring freeze Noun 1. hiring freeze - a freeze on hiring freeze - fixing (of prices or wages etc) at a particular level; "a freeze on hiring" . The hiring freeze is expected to save $216,000 this year and $516,000 next year. The college also cut about 160 classes from its spring schedule. Those cuts are expected to save about $450,000 this year. |
