Excerpted from an April 10 memo by Dr. Nancy McCallin, president of the Colorado Community College System:
[T]he Joint Budget Committee of the General Assembly initially cut higher education by $153 million, of which the community colleges would have had a $30 million cut. On April 1, the committee cut anadditional $300 million from higher education, which resulted in another $61 million cut to community
colleges, [which then totaled] $91 million in cuts for us for next year’s budget.
This represents a 63 percent
cut to the community colleges’ budgets.
[On April 9], the Colorado Senate passed a bill that would allow the state to acquire $500 million from the
reserves of Pinnacol Assurance, the entity that is required to provide workers’ compensation insurance to
businesses if those businesses so choose and do not want or cannot get insurance from any otherprovider. The Senate then proposed to use $300 million of the $500 million to restore higher educationfunding. Thus, community colleges would go back to the $30 million cut initially proposed. Even thoughthe higher education budget was restored for $300 million of the $453 million cut, we remain concerned because this funding is one-time funding and will not help in future years. We will be in the same situationone year from now of trying to find $300 million to support higher education because of the one-timenature of the funding. In addition, there are threats of lawsuits regarding this money. Thus,we are unsureif and when these funds would come to the state to restore higher education funding and we know that thefunds will not continue to be available in fiscal year 2010-2011.The budget bill was then preliminarily passed in the Senate with this proposal in it. The bill [faced] its finalvote in the Senate on [April 13] and [will] then be sent to the State House of Representatives forconsideration. The bill must pass both the Senate and the House and then be signed by Governor Ritterto become law.
