Cuts likely for state schools

Georgia colleges are bracing for even steeper budget cuts. According to the meeting agenda, tomorrow the University Board of Regents will be asked to approve 8 percent reductions for the current fiscal year. That's up from the 6 percent cuts the board already OK'd. The Regents will also vote on reducing employer contributions to health care plans. And students may have to pay a temporary fee of up to $100 to help fill the budget hole.
