College cuts
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was so busy with AYP on Friday I almost missed Andrea Jones’ story about how public colleges would slash their budgets by 5 percent.
The impact could be damaging — crowded classes and part-time faculty teaching the classes. Also, a change in course offerings could make it even more difficult for students to complete their degrees on time.
Gov. Perdue has asked state agencies to develop budget cut proposals because of declining tax collections in the weak economy. (While the Georgia Department of Education must make cuts, the state does not plan to reduce the per pupil funding public schools receive.)
How worried are you about higher ed cuts? What would you slash to save money?
