RDC working to avoid job and program cuts
Now that they’ve had time to assess the impact of the latest provincial budget, Red Deer College has developed a multi-year planning scenario that officials say will help address a funding shortfall, assist with university transition and ensure future sustainability.
RDC President Dr. Peter Nunoda says they’ve gathered additional information and had talks with the province in the five weeks since the budget was tabled allowing them to plan for both the present and future.
“The College has already discovered efficiencies, which will help to minimize the impact of the budget challenges,” he says.
RDC has created a budget plan to realize savings for this fiscal year (July 2019 to June 2020), as well as a three-year fiscal sustainability plan starting in the 2020/2021 fiscal year.
