February, 2003 Volume 17, Issue 4 - SMC Faces Catastrophic Budget Cuts PDF Print E-mail
By Lantz Simpson

       If anything close to what Governor Davis has proposed eventually passes the legislature, the community college system and SMC will be facing unprecedented and catastrophic budget cuts.  A mid-year cut of $5 million is anticipated to hit SMC.  Next fall, under Davis’s proposal, the situation becomes even more drastic with the college forced to take an additional budget cut of about $12.5 million.  This would make for a total of $17.5 million.  To put that in perspective, the total part-time faculty budget here at SMC is $21 million.

       Part-time faculty at SMC and around the state must step forward over the coming months and become politically active as never before.  The survival of your career is at stake.
