Oregon Community College Budget Under-Funded - Hood River News

From CGCC’s 2007-09 budget cycle to its current biennium, the college has seen an actual reduction of $1,442,877 in the state’s Community College Support Fund, equivalent to a 17 percent drop in revenue from that source. During the same period, the college faced an enrollment growth of 28.68 percent. The governor’s own ambitious education agenda suggested increasing statewide community college funding to meet those goals up to $510 million. Current proposed funding came $82 million short. All 17 community colleges across the state are facing a similar dilemma. http://www.hoodrivernews.com/news/2013/mar/20/community-college-budget-under-funded/
