Deliberate and chronic underfunding is hitting our City College hard.
When City College is under attack, what do we do? STAND UP! FIGHT BACK! Corporate-led, chronic underfunding of our California community colleges has left our CCSF facing a devastating cuts, and we need to take action. More than half of our faculty across the college are receiving “pink slip” layoff notices or will not have an assignment in the fall. This is unprecedented and will undermine City College of San Francisco’s essential mission: to provide an accessible and quality education to all San Franciscans, especially those most at risk. #WeAreAllCCSF #SaveOurCCSF #UnderfundingIsTheEnemy

Our institutions of higher education face multiple crises which have come into sharper contrast during the pandemic. Austerity policies have resulted in chronic underfunding, over-reliance on contingent faculty, unmanageable student debt burdens, and a narrow focus on job training to the exclusion of the public good. The result has been growing inequity in our colleges among faculty and staff, with higher education increasingly out of reach for many students. Much can be done to set higher education back on the right path. Union leaders will share the work their unions are doing to tackle inequality in their colleges. We’ll learn about the recently launched campaign for a New Deal for Higher Education, encompassing a broad platform to address all of these crises. Join us and learn what we can do to advance a just and inclusive system of higher education for all.
