Governor Davis’s proposal avoids raising taxes or student fees. The community colleges — and education generally — emerged as one of the governor’s highest priorities, according to state Chancellor Tom Nussbaum. Davis honored the Proposition 98 guarantee, and actually increased the overall level of funding for community colleges. The budget proposal contains both gains and losses for community colleges.
