<p>Here is an article from my local newspaper: [Local</a> News | Cuts hit classes that lead to jobs | Seattle Times Newspaper](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015209908_collegecuts02m.html]Local”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015209908_collegecuts02m.html)</p>
<p>Community Colleges are in some cases cutting vocational programs, and it is primarily because they are so expensive, when compared to academic transfer programs. I’m not saying that it is right, it isn’t. But when colleges are faced with drastic multi-year cuts in their state allocations, it sounds to me like the taxpayers in that state are telling colleges to spend less money - and that means cutting expensive programs.</p>
