What should we expect now that the ballot measures have failed and the governor has released his May budget revisions?
A. We do not have definitive or reassuring answers except to say that legislators will have to go back to the drawing board to balance the budget. In the May budget revision, the governor proposed cutting community college funding by an estimated $700 million in 2009-10. The Community College League of California advises that a best-case scenario would be $500 million in cuts to community colleges as a result of strong political advocacy. For Foothill-De Anza, these possibilities would mean funding reductions of $15 million to $21 million on an operating budget of approximately $186 million.
