On Oct. 23, 2015, the College of Charleston Board of Trustees passed a resolution approving a $1.25 million budget adjustment package.
Board Chair Greg Padgett issued the following statement: “Most of the adjustments were in personnel services using vacant positions. Fortunately, these cuts do not represent a reduction in force. The remainder of the adjustments were made in operating budgets and fringe benefits.
The approved budget adjustment is a strategic action that will protect our core academic mission and our unique student experience. We have gone to great lengths to preserve the quality and integrity of our academic programs. The budgetary choices made today reflect responsible fiscal governance and will enable the College to continue to meet its public mission as the state’s premier liberal arts and sciences university.
I express my sincerest gratitude to the entire campus community for working together to identify solutions to some tough challenges and your continuing efforts on behalf of our students.”
