COLLEGES HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT GOVERNOR BROWN'S PROPOSED BUDGET - AJ Abell, Action News

Governor Brown has rolled out his final budget plan, which proposes some changes to Community College funding, and colleges are having mixed reactions. California State University leaders are disappointed with the numbers, saying the small increase just isn't going to be enough to fund some of their priorities. Under the new plan, Governor Jerry Brown is straying away from the traditional formula, which funds colleges based on enrollment, and giving more money to schools that serve low-income students. The California State University trustees requested an increase of about $283 million, but Brown's budget countered that proposal with about $92 million. http://www.actionnewsnow.com/content/news/Colleges-have-mixed-feelings-about-Governor-Browns-proposed-budget-469069333.html
