SMC Spring Fiscal Update Not only did we get hit with a $6.2 million reduction in state funds at the beginning of this fiscal year, we sustained another $1.4 million in “trigger” mid-year cuts and a totally unanticipated February cut of $2.85 million that resulted from lower-than-anticipated student enrollment fees and property tax revenues. This is both a result of new cuts imposed by the state and a lesser amount of revenue than planned from non-resident tuition. The projected current fiscal year-end fund balance (reserves) for the college has worsened in the five months since the college's budget was adopted. *From Dr. Tsang’s Spring Update e-mail dated March 1, 2012

SMC Spring Fiscal Update (cont.) For 2012-13, Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed budget will be flat even if voters pass proposed state ballot measures this November to raise taxes Since 2008, we’ve been forced to eliminate 1,000 class sections, squeezing many students out of our classrooms. That brings our total cuts to a stunning $11.1 million for this fiscal year. *From Dr. Tsang’s Spring Update e-mail dated March 1, 2012
