Organizers share their experiences with City College and warn of potential cuts' impacts

from Civic · host Liana Wilcox, Laura Wenus, Mel Baker

In late February, the City College Board of Trustees voted to approve sending notices of potential layoffs that, if implemented, would be a 30% cut to salaried expenditures. CCSF says the existence of the college is at stake, and it’s facing a projected budget shortfall of $33 million. Eira Kien, a student, Vick Van Chung, the student trustee, and Mary Bravewoman, a faculty member, have been trying to prevent these cuts and talk about the impact they expect they would have on students and the broader community.
