Mrs. Dailly said she has - warned the colleges to use economic restraint but felt her. message had not got through. “I find that I now have no alternative, but to present budget guidelines,” she said. “If these guldelines are not ad- hered to, the budgets will not be approved.” Mrs. Dailly says she sup- ports the concept of local ‘autonomy for. community col- leges, but stressed that with it comes additional responsibili- 8. “Educational institutions must take into full ‘account the economic realities that face the entire country In coming up with budgets for the year.” She said administrative growth, course duplication, sab- batical leaves and ‘reduced hours of contact with students must be recognized by the colleges.
