Student clubs and programs to suffer budget cuts - Emily Wintringham, the Advocate

Unfortunately, the more student enrollment declines, the more the student fee budget is reduced and additional cuts are forced. Last quarter, the MHCC budget office informed the ASG Finance Council of a 5.5 percent decrease in enrollment. This is expected to create a projected 5.5 percent reduction in the student fee budget for the 2015-16 academic year. Due to this change, the deadline to submit budget request forms has been extended to Jan. 16. All programs and teams will need to review and adjust their budget requests according to the changes. They must determine where to cut 5.5 percent from their specific program budget. http://www.advocate-online.net/news/student-clubs-and-programs-to-suffer-budget-cuts-7708/
