About $54 million in cuts at Colorado State University Fort Collins. And tapping endowment funds to sustain scholarships for students with farmer worker or migrant backgrounds at Adams State University.These decisions reflect a broader reality facing Colorado’s public colleges and universities where campus leaders have needed to turn an eye toward stabilizing finances amid numerous fiscal pressures.Institutions in Colorado and nationally are confronting projected enrollment declines, the loss of federal grants under the Trump administration, and rising inflation. The state kept its higher education operations budget flat for the 2027 fiscal year, although lawmakers also cut some statewide grant programs used by colleges and universities. Together, those pressures have prompted what many campus leaders describe as “belt-tightening” measures. Leaders say they’re trying to preserve key services to students, but pressure on those programs is growing. In addition, this year the state allowed schools to raise tuition by up to 3.5% at four-year universities and 5% at community colleges for this fiscal year. While school leaders have said they want to keep tuition low, a higher tuition burden on students risks pushing them out of state or away from college, even though many never pay full price.Colorado funds higher education at some of the lowest rates in the country, with students paying more for college tuition and fees than in many other states. But the recent moves by the state’s public colleges and universities are part of a larger pattern.University of Tennessee Knoxville’s Robert Kelchen, a higher education finance expert, said the combination of factors like enrollment decline and federal uncertainty have caused many college and university leaders to cut personnel to save money. Students, he said, aren’t likely to feel as much of an impact yet, but the fiscal challenges are expected to last for several years.“In the longer term, that will create concerns about: Can students access certain majors? Will they have academic advising available? And just will they have the resources that they need to succeed?” he said.Heather Heersink, Adams State University chief financial officer, said Alamosa-area students are incredibly sensitive to tuition increases, and she said school leaders tried to keep costs down by dipping into reserves as rising inflationary pressures have squeezed the school’s budget.“We haven’t had to do cuts or layoffs, but we’ve been really evaluating every budget decision with a fine-tooth comb,” said Heersink.For Heersink, one priority is to try to maintain student services whenever possible, she said.For example, Adams State has used a one-time infusion of foundation funds to prop up College Assistance Migrant Program scholarships. The school recently lost about $475,000 in federal funding for these scholarships, which support first-year students who come from migrant and seasonal farmworker backgrounds.The school also lost $2.4 million of a $3 million federal five-year Ascender grant, which the school received to improve college preparation, student advising, and cultural understanding, according to a school spokesperson.Other school leaders have confronted similar issues.CU Boulder’s largest budget reductions came from a projected decrease of 9%, or about $60.4 million, in research grants due to less federal funding, said Nicole Cousins, a school spokesperson.She said the school has had 59 research award terminations or stop-work orders since the start of 2025.Meanwhile, the entire Colorado State University System made cuts. The CSU System cited flat state funding and growing uncertainty around federal research support as key drivers of recent budget decisions. CSU Fort Collins, the system’s largest university with roughly 34,000 students, made the biggest reductions. The university’s explanation of the budget shows the school faced a budget hole ranging from $38 million to $48 million for the 2026-27 school year. The school enacted a 3% salary increase, but still cut about $54 million, according to a news release. A school budget presentation from May shows a .5% decrease in full-time positions. Most of those were vacant, but about 160 came through layoffs and more than half were administrative positions. In making these decisions, the budget document says that school leaders’ priorities included the raises, as well as “financial aid and student success, retention, and completion.”Colorado School of Mines officials said in a statement that June cuts, which included a 1% reduction to its 1,600 employees, would generate roughly $17 million in savings over a two-year period. These changes included shuttering the school’s dental clinic which provided services to students, a move that was first reported by 9News.School representatives said these cuts were driven by factors that include declining enrollment projections and changes to international student visa processing.Even at schools where cuts weren’t necessary, school leaders say they’re keenly aware of the budget pressures. Metropolitan State University of Denver has increased student enrollment and raised tuition by 3.5% for the 2026-27 school year, and is in a strong financial position, said a spokesperson. But he added that “continued pressure on Colorado’s state budget could create challenges for higher education funding statewide.”Heersink of Adams State noted that the university’s budget maneuvers this year are only a stopgap.“We have tapped every pool available to us,” she said.Jason Gonzales is a reporter covering higher education and the Colorado legislature.

(The Center Square) – Texas Public Radio (TPR) employees are the latest to oust the union from their workplace in Texas and the latest to decertify the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) from their workplace. They did so with the assistance of the National Right to Work Foundation, which provides free legal aid to employees whose human or civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism. Texas is a right to work state, which prohibit unions from enforcing contracts that require employees to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. Despite this, under federal law in right to work and non-right to work states, union officials are allowed to impose “representation” on workers in a work unit, regardless if they want to be represented by the union. After a landmark 2019 National Labor Relations Board decision in a case won by the NRWF, workers who want to remove union officials from their place of employment can do so by submitting a majority-backed petition asking their employer to stop recognizing the union. The NLRB enforces federal labor law in the private sector and administers votes to install or remove unions from workplaces. In this case, TPR reporter Brian Kirkpatrick, a member of the bargaining unit, filed a petition with the NLRB for a “decertification” election to terminate SAG-AFTRA from his workplace. A decertification petition requires at least 30% of workers in the bargaining unit. Kirkpatrick’s petition was signed by a majority of his colleagues. Last month, a majority of TPR employees voted to remove SAG-AFTRA from their workplace. “The petitioners here at Texas Public Radio are very pleased with the outcome of the union decertification vote,” he said in a statement, thanking the NRWF for its support. “We encourage others in need of legal guidance on workplace matters such as this to do the same. Moving ahead, each of us looks forward to working with the responsive leadership of Texas Public Radio on issues of salary and benefits based on individual job performance and merit.” After the vote, the NLRB certified the results, officially ended SAG-AFTRA union officials’ monopoly bargaining power over TPR workers. SAG-AFTRA’s removal came one year after union representatives installed themselves into the company and never negotiated a contract for any of the employees they claimed to represent, Kirkpatrick said. “We are proud to have assisted the workers at Texas Public Radio as they fought for their freedom from union bosses they don’t support,” NRWF President Mark Mix said. “Around the country, workers are questioning union bosses’ priorities, as those officials demonstrate that they are out of step with the needs of the workers they supposedly ‘represent.’” Since Jan. 1, 2023, the NRWF has won, won in part, or favorably settled 12 cases in Texas. Last year, NRWF helped crude oil drivers for Sunoco Logistics Partners successfully remove United Steelworkers union bosses from their place of employment in four states, including Texas, The Center Square reported. These cases exclude NRWF assisting Dallas-based Southwest Airlines flight attendant Charlene Carter, who sued after being discriminated against for her religious beliefs. After a nine-year legal battle, Carter won a $1 million judgement in April, The Center Square reported. The jury initially awarded her $5 million but due to legal limitations it was reduced to the highest amount under the law. She also got her job back. In this case, Carter was fired after a Transport Workers Union member referred to her as a “cancerous tumor” to be “eradicated” and the focus of a “targeted assassination” on social media – solely because she objected to her union dues being used to advocate for abortion, The Center Square exclusively reported. U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr sanctioned the airline and issued a blistering rebuke in a 2023 contempt order for not complying with his directives, The Center Square reported. The case is ongoing because he asked for briefs on the contempt order and has yet to issue a final ruling in response. The airline and TWU appealed to the Fifth Circuit and lost. The appellate court affirmed the lower court’s finding that Southwest and TWU discriminated against Carter based on her religious beliefs. TWU didn’t respond to a request for comment when asked if it supported the online harassment of employees. Carter is still being forced to pay union dues 13 years after she withdrew her membership. The NRWF told The Center Square she is paying a reduced amount that excludes dues for politics since she opted out of union membership.
