I pray the administration changes its mind. As an alum of the Black Studies Department, the education I received was invaluable to my personal growth, my sense of self, and my confidence to to pursue any goal I set my mind to. Seeing yourself reflected in a positive way as a contributor to history and society was priceless. Please do not cut funding to the college of Ethnic Studies.
PETITION SFSU College Of Ethnic Studies
Add signatureto: President Leslie E. Wong and Provost Vice President of Academic Affairs Sue Rosser
WE THE UNDERSIGNED WOULD LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM, WITH RECOMMENDATION(S):
The proposed cuts to 40 percent of the COES budget will wipe out COES support for faculty hiring, research, and modest student resources that have survived a decade of systematic gutting.
These cuts will also impact students enrollment in COES classes and student’s ability to graduate in a timely manner. With a full and expanded budget allocation, not only will this enrich the community of San Francisco State University, but we hope to set an example for public schools, colleges, and universities in all of the United States.
IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE COLLEGE OF ETHNIC STUDIES.
