DSC officials explain possible cuts - Rachel Brown, Dalton Daily Citizen

Dalton State College officials know the state budget cuts they planned for almost a month ago won’t be as deep as expected. What they don’t know is exactly which of the proposed cuts they’ll have to implement. Officials’ plans for cutting $2.4 million from the college’s $15.4 million state budget in late February included a range of possibilities that went from laying off professors to eliminating programs and operating only four days a week during the summer. They’ve been told the cuts, which occurred in several rounds, could mean the budget for the upcoming year will be as low as $12.5 million.
