“In light of projected enrollment declines,” the more than $50 million budget includes a reduction in state aid due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The spending plan is also nearly 2 percent smaller than the current budget, with no aid increase from Oneida County, the community college said in a release.
MVCC closed the gap through a combination of reductions in department operating budgets, programming, and not filling job vacancies. The school also was able to “identify and allocate” one-time funds from the MVCC Foundation, Auxiliary Services Corp., and its budget fund balance to further close the gap.
MVCC received its CARES Act grant funding allocation of $2.1 million and plans to later apply it to the fund balance, “if permitted to do so,” in anticipation of an additional 20 percent to 50 percent mid-year cut to the college’s base state aid, the school said.
