During a global pandemic CCSF students need more stability and support, not less. Access to educational opportunities as students navigate an entirely unprecedented educational system is critical. CCSF is attempting to cut classes this week before students have an opportunity to enroll. AFT is fighting to ensure CCSF provides stability and support to students battling an economic and health crisis.
Students, faculty and community leaders will be speaking out on the Administration’s decision to cut classes whose enrollment is impacted by COVID and the importance of breaking down barriers during this crisis- students need robust class offerings and accessible registration. CCSF must not cut classes when students need them most.
Can’t come to the action?
Please sign on to our open letter to the Chancellor and Trustees calling for classes to be allowed to run in support of our already struggling students. Or help us raise up your stories by sending a short video! Tell us who your students are and how they’re impacted by these cuts. Send it to aft@aft2121.org
