This is to confirm information which has

For 1982-83 We have already been advised of reductions in grants for 1982-83 in the following amounts:

- from general operations $270,000

- from Credit Free $27,300

- from Operating Capital $91,200

For 1983-84

These grant reductions

1983-84 and

will also apply to there will be a further re-

duction in 1983-84: compared to 1981-82, the operating grants will be reduced by some $435,000 for 1983-84. No inflation

grant is expected for 1983-84.

Grant support for Credit Free activities

will be reduced by a further $27,300 for 1983-84 and a total elimination of grant support for these activities is contem-

No operating capital are assured

for 1983-84.

For 1984-85

The general outlook is for a continuation of the 1983-84 level of support to current activities, although some earmarked fund- ing for specific new activities at some colleges and Institutes is anticipated.

In the light of this outlook, even though the college will not be reducing either educational service or employee positions in 1982-83, the college must plan in anti- cipation of a scaled down operation by 1984-85 since expenses are expected to in- crease while grants continue to decrease. The current plan is to propose a gradual

scaling down over 1983-84 soften the impact and personnel.

and 1984-85 to

on educational service

The process of consultation on programming reductions, which will drive all other re-

ductions, is already underway. The Deans, in the week of September 27, 1982, will be

seeking the advice of their Co-ordinators who in turn will be consulting with their faculty colleagues. At the stage where non-programming reductions also have to be

identified, consultation with staff as well as faculty personnel is also envis-

aged.

The planning schedule currently calls for

the completion of the broad lines of the scaling down to 1984-85, and the specific

actions for 1983-84, by December 1982.

Further reports on planning progress wil] be provided throughout 1982-83.

AUCE becomes CEU

AUCE Local #4 no longer exists. The char- ter has been officially nullified by the provincial executive of AUCE and the name "College Employees Union'' with its own Constitution and its own affiliation with

the labour movement is about to be real- ized. Union president Bob McKee commented:

"We are approaching our eight complete year as a Trade Union at Capilano College.

We have not only seen many changes within our own structure, but the systems we

support have encountered massive change.'"' Over the next few weeks the union execu-

tive will be putting together a new con- stitution and they are inviting input from the union's members.
