2-year colleges will take a hit under budget proposals
Community colleges could see less money coming from the state, even as four-year institutions are set to receive slightly more money, according to the latest budget proposals from the state Legislature.

In the state's latest budget, however, community colleges and other two-year, higher education institutions are at the bottom of the funding list, despite the state still having billions available for spending.
The first drafts of state budgets over the next two years show a decrease in higher education funding.
Community colleges face a 6 percent decrease from the previous budget, although general higher education institutions could see up to a 1.5 percent increase.
