Clackamas Community College considers cutting programs
In effort to save $1.3 million, theater, nursing, horticulture and more are on chopping block
Clackamas Community College is considering cutting or reducing programs including theater, nursing, horticulture and many more.
The potential cuts come as the college is looking to reduce its budget by $1.3 million for the next fiscal year, according to spokesperson Lori Hall.
Clackamas has a structural budget deficit, Hall said, and has not seen enough revenue in recent years to cover the cost of operations because of declining enrollment, insufficient funding from the state and increasing expenses such as the Public Employees Retirement System.
