CCSF is facing cuts of more than 50%, with classes and programs in the balance and hundreds of faculty jobs at stake. These unprecedented cuts will be devastating to the city’s students and economy and 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.

On the heels of more than 600 participants coming out to defend CCSF on March 12th, Supervisor Ronen is calling a hearing of the San Francisco Joint Education Committee to address these questions:

—Is the city providing CCSF with enough support for the college to be able adequately help SF residents recover from the COVID crisis?
—Short term, how can the city leverage state & federal COVID aid to support CCSF?
—Long term, what opportunities exist for the City to help address the chronic underfunding of CCSF by making greater, ongoing investments into CCSF?

Now is not the time to make drastic cuts to the college when there is so much emergency relief money coming in to the City, the State, and the College that could be tapped to support the college during this time of crisis.

We need long-term solutions to fully fund our CCSF. San Francisco students need access to the courses and services our part-time and full-time faculty provide, yet years of chronic underfunding and disinvestment leave City College vulnerable. City and State leaders must take action now to protect our College in the immediate and long term— the future of our students and our City depend on it.
