Another round of state budget cuts coupled with declining enrollment will make it more difficult for colleges to cut spending without harming students, Georgia education officials say. But local schools are projecting a small increase in enrollment — about 2 to 3 percent more than last year. According to Kate Maine, North Georgia College & State University’s spokeswoman, the school is projecting a 3 percent increase from last fall’s enrollment of 6,067 students.
