California looks to be $3.7 billion below revenue projections in December, which could trigger billions of dollars in midyear cuts to education, detention facilities and social services if numbers don’t improve by then, according to legislative analyst Mac Taylor.

State community college fees would increase $10 per unit, and the University of California and California State University systems could lose $100 million, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
