Budget Reduction Proposals - Moberg reviewed adjustments made to the Admissions & Records/Assessment Budget
Reduction proposal (submitted to the Board on July 2, 2012) based on a worst case
scenario (Prop 30 does not pass in November). There was a discussion concerning Instruction
maintaining the 50% rule between instructors and the classroom, which puts an additional
burden on Student Services and the amount of reductions. LeBleu-Burns reviewed adjustments made to the Office of College Life, EOPS and Health
Services and their impact. Counseling and Outreach will review their budget reduction
proposals at the October 17th meeting. During the discussion it was noted that we
are not aware of Foothill reduction plans.
