Sunday classes, adjuncts among cuts at state colleges - Linda Conner Lambeck, CT Post

Sunday classes will be eliminated and office supplies cut by 5 percent this fall at Housatonic Community College to deal with an anticipated $1.4 million budget reduction. At Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, it will be adjunct faculty that help take a bite out of a projected $3.4 million budget cut. Some 76 out of 601 part-time lecturers will not get contracts. The presidents of both institutions told a Board of Regents finance panel Wednesday their plans remain precarious. They count on enrollment -- which has been slipping -- holding steady next fall. http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Sunday-classes-adjuncts-among-cuts-at-state-6262126.php
