    <p>California higher education officials are warning lawmakers deeper budget cuts will mean reduced student access.  Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget proposal includes a $400 million reduction for community colleges.  His plan also calls for a $500 million cut for both the California State University and the University of California.<br/>
</p>

<p>At a hearing of the Assembly Higher Education committee Tuesday, CSU Chancellor Charles Reed testified that 85 percent of his budget pays for staff – and there are few options:</p>

<p>“This is not a warning, but there is such a thing as too much efficiency,” he said.</p>

<p>Community College Chancellor Jack Scott echoed that sentiment. “We can’t continue to do more with less.”</p>

<p>Scott says campuses will have to eliminate classes if the legislature adopts more cuts for community colleges. </p>

<p>California faces a $25 billion budget gap and Gov. Brown’s budget slices spending from almost every sector of government. </p>
