Summary:Gavilan President Steve Kinsella said the tuition reduction element just happens to be wrapped up in SB 361, a positive for community college students who have endured rapidly rising fees over the past two years. The college, which has a surplus of about $750,000 has already received $800,000 worth of requests, so Kinsella expects to see the list grow once the equalization funding kicks in. College faculty and staff members have said they would like to see the extra cash applied to a variety of areas but the dominant ones were more technology support, registration assistance, custodial services and expanded hours of operation at the library.
