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.

Ethnic studies saved my life. It politicized me with the interdisciplinary study of my history and helped me position myself in this world. Education has the power to change lives, and denying future students at SFSU this opportunity would be a detrimental to the academic careers of the next generation. Budget cuts are always used as an excuse to attack Ethnic Studies courses. We will not allow budgets to be balanced at the expense of our future. The SFSU administration needs to work hands in hand with students, faculty, community organizations, and allies to find timely, equitable and sustainable solutions to fund this department. As the birthplace of Ethnic Studies, we have an obligation to pay forward the hard work and sacrifices students in the past left for us to build on and inherit.
