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.

Widening the resource gap between Berkeley City College and other Peralta Colleges and the District.

Implementing the allocation model stipulated by the Board of Trustees and accreditation will be more difficult as the resource gap widens.
