Position Papers
City College Nursing School Should Prioritize SF Residents
In the Fall of 2007, of the 648 qualified applicants that applied for City College's Nursing Program, 80 students were admitted. Of the 80 students that were admitted into the nursing program, only a paltry 38% were actual residents of San Francisco.
Support Higher Ed: Yes We Can!
This year, California faces a $16 billion budget shortfall. There will be very difficult cuts in services that will impact people's ability to access the California Dream. One of the most troubling and least discussed of those budget cuts is the elimination of the Competitive Cal Grant Awards.
Platform for Change!
Higher education empowers the community and is a right. City College must be an accessible and inclusive path to economic opportunity. With leadership, creativity and foresight City College can be a community partner, building ties, decreasing violence in our neighborhoods, and increasing economic stability in San Francisco.
