UC Berkeley Summer Sessions considers $2.5 million cut in financial aid - BOBBY LEE, Daily Cal

With a mandate from the recently unveiled campus fiscal year 2018 budget to reduce spending by 3 percent among UC Berkeley Summer Sessions, UC Berkeley Study Abroad and the UC Berkeley Osher Lifelong Institute — or OLLI — academic division, Summer Sessions is considering, among other measures, cutting $2.5 million in financial aid, exploring the development of additional minors and expanding the campus’s programming associated with pre-collegiate and international students. The campus’s finalized 2018 budget calls for more than $20 million in cuts to academic, research and administrative division expenses to meet a goal of reducing the campus’s $110 million structural deficit by about $53 million over the next fiscal year. http://www.dailycal.org/2017/08/14/uc-berkeley-summer-sessions-considers-2-5-million-cut-financial-aid/
