Episode Three Programs Cut Amid Budget Crisis Cover

Beschreibung

South Puget Sound Community College is shutting down three beloved programs—baking and pastry arts, culinary arts, and paralegal studies—after a unanimous vote by the college board, citing a $3.4 to $4 million budget shortfall. With personnel costs eating up 83% of the budget and tuition hikes failing to match rising expenses, leadership says these cuts are necessary for survival. Faculty and students protested, emphasizing the programs’ vital role in supporting marginalized communities and offering second chances, noting the food programs alone cost over $600,000 annually. Three faculty members lost their jobs, one retired, and affected students can finish through a teach-out. While one professor found a new culinary role, these programs are now officially gone—marking a painful but pragmatic end for the college.

Spa Manager Accused of Assault

A foot massage spa manager faced serious charges after allegedly assaulting an employee who refused a customer’s sexual advances—claiming prostitution is “part of the job” to keep the business afloat. The employee, who’d only been working there five days and was even staying at the spa for $30 a night, told police she was physically attacked, leaving a visible mark on her chest. Officers, aided by body cameras, intervened as the chaos unfolded. Though the manager was arrested, the investigation is still ongoing.
