Community colleges owned by the State University of New York will prioritize cutting administrative jobs and staff to offset revenue gaps caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, officials said, as executives proposed $46 million cuts to state community colleges over the next two years. Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed $35 million cuts to community colleges this year and another $11 million next year citing ongoing enrollment decline. Officials project a $39 billion revenue loss over four years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including losses of $11.5 billion in Fiscal Year 2021 and $9.8 billion in FY 2022.
