Calif- Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo is facing trouble as the state evaluates the schools accreditation. For several years colleges like Cuesta have seen large cuts placing them in a financial hole. "We've gone from a 52-million dollar budget to now down to a 44-million dollar budget," says President Dr. Gill Stork. Earlier this year Cuesta College had to cut 30 part-time faculty jobs and in the last 3 years over 350-classes. Now the school could lose their accreditation because the school says without the funding it can't keep up with the student need, in turn state standards. That's a concern for students like Cayce Richardson. "Why put forth the hard work if you can't transfer, it is a little scary and concerning," says Richardson. Dr. Stork says the school is working hard at making sure the school is up to accreditation standards. "There's been a great deal of focus and energy and staff time allocated for this process," says Stork.
