Gfiston College Losing Teachers
POLICEMAN HONORED - Det. Sgt. Richard
Reynolds, back to camera, accepts citation of
i^reclatlon from Mayor John Moss, on behalf of
the city, on Monday night.
Eor the 19T7<78 year,
the State has reduced
Osston College’s budget
by K»»,664 or a total of
S7 positions, most of
them In the Instruc
tional area.
According to Dr. Joe
Mins, president of Gas
ton College, the cuts
were made for three
reasons: (1) Gaston
OoUege has had a drop
In enrollment, primarily
due to a loss of veterans
who have completed
their programs. (3) ITie
Legislature funds the
Community College
System on a 3S:1 ratio
which Dr. Mills says Is
totally unrealistic In
that few classes on
campus have 38 enrolled
students. (8) Also, the
State Board of Educa
tion changed the fun
ding formula to provide
greater financial aid to
non-credit programs as
opposed to credit
programs. Gaston
College’s main trust Is
In credit degree and
diploma programs.
Ihe net effect of the
cuts could be a reduc
tion of approximately
100 courses during the
1877-78 year. Most In-
structlcmal cuts will be
In the part-^me faculty
which totaled some 300
people last year.
However, about eight to
ten full-time
ttve positions will not be
filled or contracts will
not be renewed.
One area will be
cut Is the Nursing
Department. Dr. Mills
Indicated that the State
funds this program at
one h^ructor per 38
^dents, but the State
Board of Nursing Insists
on one Instructor per ten
students In the clinical
area. ’Ihia, the only way
the college can afford
this ’’high cost-low
yield” program, ac
cording to Dr. Mills Is to
get local siqpport. Mills
Indicated he will ask the
Board of ’Trustees to
seek approxlmatdly
175,000 from the County
Commissioners to fund
the Nursing Programs
during the following
1878-78 year. ”We luat
can’t operate this
program with the low
level of state-level
sun>art unless we get
additional local sup
port,” MUls said.
Mills Indicated that,
as a udiole, the Com
munity OoUege System
was being funded on a
’’crisis basis” from
year-to-year. None of
the slater tnsUtutlons
can be sure of their
budget under the
present funding for
mula. Central Piedmont
Oommunlcty College In
Charlotte, for
was cut approximately
83^ mUUon doUars this
Mills la hopeful that
the situation wUl Im
prove. He said the
faculty had reacted
positively to the prob
lem, agreeing to assume
additional teaching
loads to make up the
deficit. However, he
said, the Legislature
and the State Board of
Education must do
something to ease the
funding crisis. ’Ihla year
the University System
got a slseable Increase;
the public schools got a
significant Increase,
and the private colleges
got a 38 percent In
in student aid.
Ihe community coUeges
were cut.
