Santa Fe Community College’s governing board on Thursday unanimously approved measures to close a $5 million budget shortfall. The measures include a $5-per-credit-hour tuition hike for students starting in January, staff reductions, and salary decreases for employees earning $30,000 and more. “When you try to fix a problem with a year’s time, we have to take some actions that are severe,” board member Martha Romero told the assembly. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/sfcc-tuition-up-staff-cut-in-budget-balancing-plan/article_041f739e-beb0-5749-9a7e-2c4af8e409c9.html
