Berkeley City College
Berkeley City College makes note, in light of requested budget reductions, that:
- Reductions are widening the resource gap between BCC and the other colleges; the reductions are not position neutral.
- BCC’s lower operating and labor costs mean that for every 1.0 in FTE cut at the other like-sized colleges, BCC has to cut 1.27 FTE to achieve the same dollar savings. So, even though cuts are being scaled to a percentage of budget, there is a harsher impact at the college.
Berkeley City College
- BCC receives $3842.74 general fund budget per FTES, compared with an average of $4,888.71 for the other like-sized colleges.
- BCC’s Local 1021 classified staff level is 10.6% of the district overall. The other like-sized college average staff level is 18.7%. A cut of two classified positions at BCC is equal to a 5% reduction in force.
- The disproportionate impact of reductions at BCC has both immediate and long-term implications that cannot be overlooked.
