Louisiana higher education facing budget cuts, declining enrollment | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Louisiana‘s higher education system faces potential budget cuts and declining enrollment that jeopardize recent gains in educational attainment, currently at 51% of adults with degrees or certificates. Monty Sullivan, president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, warned of possible layoffs, program cuts, and campus closures if funding continues to diminish. The state is $800 million short of necessary educational funding, risking losses of 420 jobs and 55 programs. Declining enrollment trends, exacerbated by the pandemic and demographic shifts, further threaten the system, especially community colleges. Educators emphasize the need for scholarships to help more citizens engage in the workforce.
