'Gut-Wrenching': City College of San Francisco Lays Off 38 Faculty, But More Cuts May Be on the Way [photos]

City College of San Francisco's Board of Trustees finalized 38 faculty layoffs to address a looming budget deficit during a special meeting, Friday night. Another 12 faculty are retiring and won't be replaced.

But that may not be the full count of teachers dropped by the school: at least 150 part-timers may not be hired back to the college as part of a state mechanism that mandates part-timers not take the place of laid-off full time faculty, the teachers' union says.

And while those aren't technically layoffs themselves, those teachers will be out of a job all the same. Many have worked at the college for years, and for some, decades.

All week, faculty and student supporters tried to hold back the tidal wave of layoffs: on Sunday City College of San Francisco faculty marched for May Day, on Tuesday they camped in tents in front of their administration's offices, and on Thursday, 10 protesters were arrested after blocking a street.

This is what happens when a city spends all your money on homeless and illegal aliens - there is nothing left over to fund the city

Great, having no other skills, these “professors” will not join the legions of homeless in SF, defacating on the streets.

“I’m sure that any one of them would show us compassion should any one of us lose our job.”

Crackerjack point.

All of them would celebrate someone else who is politically conservative losing their job.

This is what happens:

1. When good workers and tax payers leave the city.

2. Then, when a city spends all your money on homeless druggies and illegal aliens - there is nothing left over to fund the city.

Apparently, many so called community colleges in California will facing similar decisions re who to lay off and whom to keep.

A lot of colleges and universities will soon be shutting down.
They’ve priced themselves out of existence.

18-22 year olds can get ahead much faster by avoiding universities, and insane student loans.

A bit of schadenfreude seems appropriate for ‘May Day’ marchers.
