Budget woes prompt changes at Bevill State - Nicole Smith, Daily Mountain Eagle

Bevill State Community College recently made budget cuts that have resulted in laying off 19 employees. Once BSCC Interim President Dr. Kim Ennis discovered mid-summer that the college had been deficit spending for five years, she said she knew eliminating positions would be necessary. After reaching out to the Alabama Community College System’s chancellor’s office, Ennis was informed she would need to make more cuts than expected. “Immediately we knew we needed to make some budget changes, because that’s what anyone would do when they found they were spending more money than their revenues were,” Ennis said. “[The chancellor’s office wanted] us to go a little further than that and protect any reserve money we had. We realized we needed to make some even deeper cuts.” http://mountaineagle.com/stories/budget-woes-prompt-changes-at-bevill-state,13260
