How do we grow our college?
With Banner 9 a disaster, the Spring 2019 schedule already cut to the bone, and not enough marketing or outreach to students, we are feeling the pain. All of us want strong classes with healthy enrollment. We need administration to make the right decisions so that students have the opportunities they need and programs stay strong and grow. We demand that the college:
- immediately replace our dysfunctional online registration system with a system that works
- issue a moratorium on class cancellations for Spring 2019
- require deans to work with departments to develop measurable, accountable plans for growth
- allocate departments the FTEF they need to add back classes they know will fill
- support program- and campus-specific marketing and outreach efforts with time and financial resources
Please join us at the next Board of Trustees meeting to share with trustees:
1) why you love your job and how class cuts are threatening your ability to continue providing quality public education.
2) one idea for how to grow our college
Please meet us on Ocean Campus in front of MUB 140 at 3:45pm on Thursday, 12/13.

AFT 2121 stands with NUHW on STRIKE
NUHW represents over 4,000 Kaiser mental health clinicians and professionals who are holding a 5 day strike the week of December 10th. These workers are urging Kaiser to increase staffing to improve care for Kaiser mental health patients.
Despite being in bargaining since June, to date, Kaiser has not made any substantive counter-proposals that would meaningfully change their practice of overbooking clinicians with appointments. These clinicians often cannot adequately care for their patients, and patients are too often pushed into group therapy or out of the Kaiser system altogether.
Stand with us as we join these workers in their statewide fight for better mental health care! Make sure mental health patients are treated with the same respect and dignity as other patients.
NUHW is on STRIKE from 12/10 thru 12/15 at the San Francisco Medical Center, 2425 Geary Blvd, SF. Picketing goes from 6AM to 4pm with rallies at noon daily. AFT 2121 adopts a picket shift Thursday, 12/13 from 12-2pm. Please join us.
