Fund cuts eyed. Lee College faces state aid shortfall
At the Feb 20 Board of Regents meeting, Don Coffey said Lee College could lose up to 1 million dollars if current plans pass. The state considers cuts from 5.3 to 10 percent to community and junior colleges, risking service reductions and possible tax hikes. Interim President Whiteley asked Gov. Ann Richards for action and outlined budget planning around a 5.2 percent cut, preserving instructional base and raises while flagging tuition and fee increases if larger cuts occur.
