RCC prepares for possibility of deep budget cuts - Robesonian

We know there are plenty of employees at Robeson Community College who are worried about their future employment. Several told us so — even if not on the record. It wasn’t long after the employees met with college President Pamela Hilbert on Monday that we began receiving messages expressing their concerns, that they had been told about 25 10-month employees, all instructors, might have to be placed on a nine-month schedule because of possible state budget cuts. They felt picked on because only 10-month employees were being affected, and not 12-month and nine-month employees. Additionally, according to Hilbert, unfilled positions will remain that way, some internal services eliminated and there will be funding cuts for equipment and supplies. http://www.robesonian.com/news/editorial-opinion/152434739/RCC-prepares-for-possibility-of-deep-budget-cuts
