I was speaking with edgar torres who is the chair of Latino Studies Department and he noted that as the mission becomes more gentrified, a lot of immigrants are moving to the tenderloin ~ and we really need to be able to serve that population. I also just want to make the point that over the last year the faculty and staff at ccsf formed 14 different work groups to address every recommendation that the accjc cited us on and we put in a lot of hours to try and meet their recommendations. So, its been a huge slap in the face that we are at this point now. We think its very unjust and undeserved and thank you very much for your support today. applause thank you. Next speaker.

And then later in the middle of my printing trades career, i decided i wanted to see if i could do Something Else so i went back to study physiology which was available to me. But thats not what im here for. I think you guys know because youve heard it all, that this is a political fight not an education fight.
