Schools prepare for budget cuts
■ FUNDS: Measure 47 leaves
community colleges unable to
raise funds with local bonds
or tuition increases
The Associated Press
PORTLAND — All but one of
Oregon’s 17 community colleges
are weighing cutbacks as they
brace for budget cuts related to
Oregon’s new property tax law.
Portland Community College,
the state’s largest, with 35,000 stu
dents, announced plans Friday to
cut $2.9 million from its $87 mil
lion annual budget.
Most of the cuts would be in
administration and support ser
vices, largely sparing classrooms.
Still, 44 of 1,014 jobs face elimina
tion, most through layoffs.
Only Roseburg’s Umpqua com
munity College, with 2,900 stu
dents, remained upbeat.
“We battened down the hatch
es long ago,” said spokeswoman
Sonia Wright.
Portland Community College
f
President Dan Moriarty described
his proposed cuts as a best case
scenario.
“This assumes the governor’s
budget makes it through the gant
let, and I’m not sure that will hap
pen,” he said. “There are a lot of
ifs out there.”
Gov. John Kitzhaber’s proposed
budget replaces the $36 million in
property taxes that community
colleges could lose under Mea
sure 47. The colleges are planning
for cuts because the new law also
prohibits schools from using
bonds to pay for maintenance and
restricts their freedom to raise tu
ition.
“Some colleges are preparing
fairly detailed plans if budget cuts
come; others aren’t looking at it in
such detail yet,” said Alan Contr
eras, spokesman for the Oregon
Community College Association.
“There are still loads of ques
tions.”
At Rogue Community College
in Grants Pass, officials have tak
en steps so they could raise tu
ition from $35 a credit to as much
as $1,000. Measure 47 might
legally block them from doing so,
but officials say it’s an option.
Mt. Hood Community College
in Gresham expects at least $1.2
million in cuts.
Clackamas Community College
in Oregon City plans a bit of trim
ming, but a spokeswoman said
jobs and academics won’t be
touched.
Moriarty of Portland Communi
ty College said his proposed cuts
probably would have happened
anyway, but Measure 47 forced
the issue. Most of the cuts come
by slashing administration — the
office of the vice president for ed
ucational services is being elimi
nated, for example — or trimming
around the edges, such as reduc
ing campus mail service from
twice to once daily.
Despite cuts, the college plans
to add 10.5 full-time teaching po
sitions next year.

lishers who create the materials and with the law
makers who set the standards," said Edward J.
Kameenui, NCITE associate director and Univer
sity professor of special education.
NCITE researchers work with government
agencies at the local, state and federal levels to im
prove the quality of textbooks and other educa
tional tools. The center forms partnerships with
teacher unions, research organizations, profes
sional education associations and certifying agen
cies to accomplish its objectives.
NCITE researchers also aid education officials
in Virginia to set higher standards for testing ma
terial used to teach students. The research center
works with officials in Washington, California
and Texas to explore better ways to teach begin
ning reading.
The center, along with several private founda
tions, is planning a national meeting this fall on
the role of educational research in establishing
testing standards and accountability.
