Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont's midyear budget cuts of $8 million hit higher education despite a projected $1.6 billion surplus, reversing earlier commitments. Experts see potential damage.
State officials argue that the cuts are necessary due to spending projections that exceed limits by nearly $400 million, but many disagree given the projected surplus.
Concerns are rising among state system administrators about significant budget deficits for higher education as COVID relief funds dwindle and only limited funding remains.
CSCU vice chancellor Adam Joseph highlighted their commitment to working with state leaders for predictable funding, emphasizing that the state college system requires adequate financial resources.
