Budget woes prompt cuts at CSN, affecting tutoring during finals week - Ana Ley, Las Vegas Review-Journal

Facing a slashed budget and the need to trim spending by $1.8 million this academic year, the College of Southern Nevada has introduced sweeping cost-cutting measures as school leaders prepare to ask for more money from the state next month. Students will notice one big change soon: While about 35,000 tackle final exams this week, CSN will close most of its tutorial facilities from Wednesday through Friday, reducing service hours at its Centers for Academic Success stations significantly during the last week of the fall semester. All tutoring services at CSN's Cheyenne and Henderson campuses will be shuttered on those days, with limited offerings at its Charleston campus on Wednesday and Thursday. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/education/budget-woes-prompt-cuts-csn-affecting-tutoring-during-finals-week
