Word on the street is that Texas community colleges are going to get funded at a decrease this Session. Even though most Texas college students are in community college, enrollment has dropped off some statewide since the last scary budget cycle. Enrollment has not, however, dropped to anything close to as low as it would need to be for the budget left after the draconian cuts of the dastardly 82nd Legislature to come close to covering the funding our community colleges need. So another cut this time around? Really a problem.
Of course, if the Lege doesn't even want to pay to educate the young 'uns, I guess we wouldn't expect them to take an interest in higher education, either.
Please contact your state legislators, mamas, and let them know that you want public education and public institutions of higher education to get their funding back.
