Augusta State University nursing students and many others at the college can breathe a sigh of relief.
At a Wednesday news conference to detail ASU's latest master plan, ASU President William Bloodworth said potential state funding cuts for next year aren't looking as bleak and programs that might have been cut, including the nursing program, no longer seem in danger.
"The governor has made another proposal that gives us some hope," the president said. "I think it's highly unlikely we would be eliminating those programs."
Bloodworth said the governor's latest proposal is about a third of the cuts that had been discussed previously through the University System of Georgia Chancellor's Office, which had asked state universities to respond with a list of potential cuts should $300 million more in statewide funding be slashed for the next fiscal year.
Bloodworth said cuts that might come now would most likely be to nonacademic areas.
