Already thirty classes have been cut from Cosumnes River College’s 2009-2010 academic year.  Although no full time instructors have been cut, some part-time instructors, along with their classes, have not been so lucky.  Student Services is facing the largest cuts, including their Counseling and Admissions departments.  Physical Education must also deal with significant cuts in classes such as mountaineering, lifeguard training, backpacking, and bowling.

So what is CRC doing about their problem?

“We are always striving to conserve in any way we can without jeopardizing our students education.” says KirstieWest, CRC’s Public Information Officer. The CRC campus has already gone “green” by recycling and communicating via email.  Although they have been cutting down on hiring, they are not on a “hiring freeze” and will fill any needed positions. As it can be seen, not only are Ivy League schools are being slashed – the local colleges, many of which are popular to our high school students, are also impacted by our nation’s economic state.
