The Board committee (Trustees Berg, Marks, and Rizzo) met to discuss the impact on the college of the proposed budgetary cuts coming from the state. A crowd of over 30 people, including faculty, classified staff, administrators, and Trustees Grier and Ngo attended the meeting.
The administration presented the plan that the college has worked out so far for dealing with the financial crisis that we face. The Trustees asked several questions about the plan and the various places that the college is looking to save money. The questions were especially directed at issues of potential job loss for current employees.

There was also a discussion of the role of the Board of the Board’s Planning and Budgeting Committee, with faculty and other District employees speaking to the need for the Board to set policy and priorities but not to mess with the details of the budget.
