Administrators hope summer cutbacks ease future cuts

Once again, with the demand for classes on the and the supply of funds from the state on the

lanter. F<X" students age 18 and over the state will only up to 2% of annual growth rate, according to Dean of Athninistration, Richard Casey. City College

grew by 30% in enrollment and cut 135 sections during the spring semester.. Last summer, there was a unprecedented need for courses. This summer session offerings will be cut by 30% of what was available last summer. If funds are restored, there won't need to be cuts in the following fall and spring. The general idea is to cut a minimal number of classes each semester so that there are no drastic cuts in any one semester. "Just about every school in the state is facing that cap and we're all sharing in the frustration," added Kanter, "we need to have summer cutbacks to better balance and improve management of our resources."
