PETITION SFSU College Of Ethnic Studies

to: 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.

    It is my strong belief that completing ethnic studies courses combats many of the flagrant untruths that have somehow seeped into the US presidential campaign. We need them even more these days, not less.

    Not only do classes offered by the COES provide spaces for the exploration of one’s identity and empowerment, but they also inspire cross-cultural empathy —a key component of racial reconciliation.

    Don’t defund the college that represents SFSU and the voices of the oppressed! Taking away funding undermines the ethical principles of San Francisco and our fight against social injustice.

    I am a teacher in the Social Justice Academy at San Leandro High, and I strongly support all ethnic studies/social justice programs throughout the country that are under constant attack. I look at SFSU’s COES as the cornerstone, and if administration is able to affect it so heavily, it can definitely set precedence and affect similar programs throughout the country. I also have students who graduate from our program every year excited to go to SFSU’s COES, a place where they can continue growing their critical consciousness in a college that engages students in decolonization. We can’t let this happen! The Social Justice Academy at San Leandro High School stands with you!
