Community College leaders says budget cuts will hurt

February 23, 2001 By admin

The three state-supported universities aren’t the only schools concerned with proposed state budget cuts. Western Iowa Tech Community College President Robert Dunker says smaller schools will feel the cuts, too.Dunker says the proposed cuts would take a big chunk out of his budget.The proposed cuts would take about 96-thousand dollars out of his budget. He says that money’s already been allocated. Dunker isn’t pulling out his budget axe just yet. He says it would be a mistake to cut money from community colleges in light of the state’s sluggish economy.He calls community colleges the “economic engines” of the state. Dunker says raising tuition to make up the cuts would go against the goal of keeping a community college education affordable.
