Moultrie Colleges Expect to Weather Budget Cuts Attrition, non-state funding key for MTC and ABAC
MOULTRIE — The state has ordered colleges and universities to cut spending by 5 percent, but local institutions say they’re trying to minimize the impact on those who use their services.
Both Moultrie Technical College and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, a Tifton college that operates ABAC on the Square in Moultrie, said Wednesday they plan to leave vacant positions unfilled and use non-state funds if necessary to offset the state budget cuts.
“We’re looking at ways to cut without negatively impacting our employees, our students and the businesses [and industries] we serve,” said Jana Wiggins, director of marketing for Moultrie Tech.
