Dive Brief:
- A budget crunch at San Jose State University has forced departments to cancel some spring classes.
- Just days before registration began, directors and department heads heard they needed to cut their programs immediately.
- Administrators say they're just asking programs to live within their budgets and that this is not a midyear cut.
Dive Insight:
The budget tightening caught many students and faculty by surprise since it comes after California approved Prop. 30, which promised relief from deep cuts. A university spokeswoman said she didn't know how many classes would be cut and noted budget and class adjustments are made each fall.
