The Texas Tribune's Christopher Smith published a column on Friday, Community Colleges Uneasy as Ax Hangs Over Benefits, discussing how the proposed budget cuts would be affecting community colleges across the state.
The article touches on how the proposed budget cuts would affect the health care benefits of its eligible employees; which would mean that the colleges would have to find millions of more dollars to cover the difference, most likely by reducing the number of teachers and classes, and of course raising tuition. The article continues talking about how the budget cuts will cause community colleges across the state to close which will affect many students looking for a higher education.
I thought this article was very informative and gave good information on something that could directly affect us.
