Budget
The May Revise is better than expected, but still not good for Community Colleges.
Community Colleges are still not being treated equitably. PFE has been cut 50%. We
are right on track with our $7-9M cuts. A tentative budget will go to the board tonight
for adoption on June 9, 2003.
The most recent Vice President budget cut listing includes the elimination of the winter
session. We will not change dates for spring session at this time. We will continue to try
and protect classified and faculty regular permanent positions.
Health Benefits
There is another open forum scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 2003 during college hour.
The State of the College Address that was scheduled for that same time will be
rescheduled.

Address at two different times—11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in the Campus Theatre.
