College needs to cut $1.1 million - Lauren Benn, Terrace Standard

Northwest Community College is working on a budget-cutting plan designed to cure a deficit of $1.1 million. Despite rising costs and demands for services, NWCC president Denise Henning said the college hasn’t seen a budget increase in years. Overall spending at the college now tops $26 million a year with the provincial government providing more than $17 million of that amount. College board members were to approve a list of cuts and other ways to save money at a meeting last week but postponed a decision when instructors complained that they had not been asked for their opinion.
