California community college chief Scott gives tips for weathering `difficult times' - Pasadena Star-News:

"Desperate times may call for desperate measures - but that's not necessarily the case at California community colleges, even in the face of the state's massive funding cutbacks to education.

At least that's the message California Community College Chancellor Jack Scott conveyed recently at the Community College League of California conference, where he gave a speech called, 'Living in Difficult Times.'

'There is no question that 2009-10 is an extremely challenging time for California community colleges,' he told the crowd at the San Francisco conference, which included San Gabriel Valley and Whittier area representatives."
