The Cerritos College Board of Trustees voted on and approved a motion to reinstate 45 classes for this year’s summer session at a board meeting on Wednesday.
The board originally planned a schedule in February but made cuts in April to offset the current $6 million deficit the college is facing this fiscal year.
After facing pressure from students and faculty alike, it chose to reinstate some of the classes.
During the public presentation segment of the meeting History instructor Walter Fernandez pleaded for the board to add even more classes.
He distributed a letter to the board and the audience, written by Cerritos College Faculty Federation President Dr. Ted Stolze and Treasurer Solomon Namala, stating that returning to the original summer schedule “would not only be the right thing to do for our students but also a prudent use of taxpayers’ money.”
The letter also included information that suggested the district has about $30 million in reserves and to return to the original schedule would only cost about $500,000.
Registration for classes that were previously available has already begun and the summer semester officially began on May 23.
The enrollment for the classes that have just been added will open Friday at noon.
Here is a list of the complete list of the classes that have been added.
