CFCC facing $2 million budget cut - Ann McAdams, WECT

Another big budget shortfall at Cape Fear Community College is forcing administrators to get creative to make up for the deficit. After overcoming a $1.5 million budget shortfall last fiscal year, the college is projecting a $2 million shortfall this year. State funding for community colleges is based on past enrollment, and with a booming economy, more people have jobs and enrollment at CFCC has been down in recent years. “The funding we expect to receive this year is based on enrollment figures from two years ago,” CFCC Spokeswoman Sonya Johnson explained. “As a result [of the budget shortfall], we are closely evaluating each vacant position.” https://www.wect.com/2019/06/03/cfcc-facing-million-budget-cut/
