The College of Southern Idaho will be receiving 12 and a half percent less money from the state, according to a plan announced Monday by the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee.
Because CSI receives much of it's funding from a local college taxing district, the cuts aren't expected to have as big an impact as at Idaho’s 4-year colleges and universities.
Still CSI board members have agreed to discuss the possibility of student fee increases at their next meeting.
CSI, North Idaho Community College and the new College of Western Idaho will receive about $3.6 million less in total funding during the next fiscal year.
Meantime state lawmakers plan to give University of Idaho, Idaho State University, Boise State University and Lewis-Clark State College about $32.1 Million less in overall funding.
