Evergreen looks to cut $6 million from its budget, raise fees due to enrollment drop - ABBY SPEGMAN, Olympian

The Evergreen State College will look to cut more than 10 percent from its operating budget for 2018-19 and raise student fees because of declining enrollment. In a memo to the college’s board of trustees, Evergreen President George Bridges wrote that cuts totaling $5.9 million are needed because of lower-than-expected tuition revenue. This will require “some” layoffs and eliminating “many positions that are currently vacant,” according to Bridges. http://www.theolympian.com/news/local/education/article210893889.html
