California Community Colleges’ budget has been cut by $400-$800
million.
Cabrillo will need to cut $7-10 million this next fiscal year: $3 million
by August 2011 and $4.2 million by February 2012.
District reserves will be used and some vacant positions may be
eliminated, which will cover some of the $3 million. However, in order
to reach the $4.2 million midyear cut, there will be a need for program
and service reductions.
In 2012-2013, an additional $9 million may need to be cut.
Enrollment may go down and there will likely be another fee increase.
Dennis attended a joint CSU, UC and CCC meeting in Sacramento and
visited with various legislators.
Dennis reported that at a recent statewide CSSO meeting, there was
valuable brainstorming and discussion, including which regulations
could be eliminated.
The budget discussions and planning will continue at full speed over
the summer. Any employees who do not work during the summer
should check emails and the college website for updates.
Department meetings should include brainstorming on what services
and tasks must continue and what can be stopped. Dennis can attend
staff meetings to start discussions.
What services are legally mandated?
Use technology to help efficiency.
SLO/Assessment/Program Review
Dennis reminded everyone to continue working on assessment plans,
especially those SLOs due this year:
 Student Affairs
 VPSS
 A&R
 Student Employment (already completed)
The rest are due next year, except for Matriculation, DSPS, and
Assessment which have also been completed.

Department.

EOPS/DSPS/Veterans/CalWorks (May 9 & 10)

Running Start (May 20)
Matriculated students (assessed and oriented) (May 23)
New non-matriculated students (May 24)
Concurrent high school students (June 6)
BRAINSTORMING FUTURE POSSIBLE PRIORTIES
 Credit completion (higher units attained, higher priority, up to 100),
for example: 45-70, 30-44, and 1-29
 Priority for certain classes based on pre-majors (such as Allied
Health); list pre-majors in Datatel
 Must have an Ed Plan and declared major for priority registration
 Basic skills/ESL
 Allow more time between matriculated and non-matriculated
 Limit concurrent high school to juniors and seniors
 Low priority for those with degrees
 High priority for Running Start
 More days for matriculated students
 Veteran’s “own time” – first priority; for example, 8:00-9:00 AM for
veterans and then 9:00 AM on for EOPS/DSPS/CalWorks
 Limit number of units to 15 initially; students can add later
 Close registration after 30-minute window and go to “end of line”
 Low priority for habitual droppers
 Low priority for community-type (enrichment) classes
Next meeting: Wednesday, May 11, 2011.
