Struggling Alabama colleges hope for more state funding for COVID recovery
Updated Mar 08, 2021;
Lawmakers are trying to give Alabama’s four-year institutions and community colleges a slight bump in state funding after a difficult year.
Higher education has been particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Rep. Bill Poole, R-Tuscaloosa, who leads the Ways and Means Committee in the House. State appropriations are just a fraction of the revenue that fund operations for the universities. As students stayed home, events got postponed and hospitals canceled procedures, state funding became more important to fund colleges’ bottom line and keep people employed.
