Jim Corrin, president of the EGCC Education Association, indicated that vacation and personal day payouts for employees are on hold due to a lack of appropriate funding and Board approval. He noted that despite this financial strain facing employees, top administrators continue to receive their salaries without interruption. This highlights the contrasting financial realities within the institution during its closure process.
The closure of Eastern Gateway Community College (EGCC) was announced earlier this year, with a set closure date of October 31. This decision followed a tumultuous year marked by financial difficulties, including the abrupt end of a free online college program that had attracted many students, leading to significant financial strain. The challenges stemmed from scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Education regarding federal aid compliance, ultimately impacting the institution's sustainability.
