The Clackamas Print challenges
staff, students to save, raise money
by Tina Guinn ,
Editor-in-Chief
In the last issue of The
Clackamas Print, News Editor
Anjanette Booth reported on the
drop in full-time equivalent en
rollment This downswing means
a revenue loss of approximately
$300,000. What does that mean
for students?
Due to the projected loss in
revenue, the CCC budget commit
tee is looking at a $2 per credit
tuition increase for the 1995-1996
school year. However, this is not
the only change to be imple
mented to help combat the tight
financial situation.
Fortunately, the money re
serves are in “good shape,” to
handle short-term deficit prob
lems, according to a memo sent
out by the President’s Council
Jan. 11.
Although there seems to be
no immediate financial difficul
ties, the budget is expected to
move into negative numbers in
1996-97 and 1997-98 when all
cash carry over from the previous
years is depleted.
The President’s Council
needs our help raising the bud
get. Any cost saving and/or rev
enue-generating ideas would help
raise the budget.
That is why we, at The
Clackamas Print, have created a
list of money-saving. And we
challenge all of you to do your
part in combating the monetary
decrease.
Please direct you ideas to The
Clackamas Print Staff in Barlow
104, or call ext. 2309. Thanks
for you help!
