Future budget cuts are inevitable. Administrators are in the process of evaluating every detail of the college’s budget and realigning the school’s strategic plan. Interim President Stork has pledged to keep spring and fall classes intact, but in order to do that, Cuesta had to cut most of the school’s summer classes. The challenge, he said, will be to find a way to keep from completely eliminating other programs while staying within Cuesta’s budget.
“The easy thing to do is just eliminate programs, but it is not necessarily the right thing to do,” Stork said.
