WALLA WALLA -- Walla Walla Community College will be cutting two programs next year, resulting in two layoffs, in response to a $1.1 million reduction in state funding.
The college plans to eliminate its precision machining technology program at its Walla Walla campus, and the carpentry program at its Clarkston campus, said college president Steve VanAusdle.
Eliminating the precision machining program in Walla Walla will save the college about $75,000; and the Clarkston carpentry program about $70,000 to that campus.
The remainder of the college's budget hole will be met through smaller reductions, like continued conservation efforts at the college, better use of energy, and some business revisions to its waste-water contract, for example, and paying off a debt service account.
