Germanna braces for a 7.5 percent budget cut - RHONDA SIMMONS, Culpeper Star Exponent

In response to Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s recent request for public colleges and universities in Virginia to plan for a 7.5 percent budget cut starting in July 2017, Germanna Community College President David Sam warned his faculty and staff on Thursday to prepare for some belt-tightening measures such as hiring freezes and reduced out-of-state travel. “If enacted, this would be the largest cut we have faced in my time at Germanna and will require significant scale back of programs and services. I must emphasize that this is a plan at this point,” said Sam. http://www.dailyprogress.com/starexponent/news/germanna-braces-for-a-percent-budget-cut/article_b2de974d-dc61-51a6-8bcf-6605dfd95b87.html
