California’s community college system has been hit with state budget cuts for three consecutive years. As the state continues to try to close a $26.6 billion budget deficit, community colleges are facing between $400 million to $800 million in state funding cuts. In the worst case, Mt. San Jacinto College could lose more than $7 million in 2011-12. Officials at MSJC have been monitoring the state budget discussions daily in order to carefully consider options that would least impact students.
