Students and faculty at Sonoma State University organized a rally in protest of substantial academic and athletic program cuts due to a nearly $24 million budget deficit. The cuts threaten the jobs of multiple tenured faculty members and eliminate all athletic programs. Interim President Dr. Emily Cutrer addressed the situation in a town hall meeting, but many attendees expressed skepticism about the administration's explanations. The cuts have been attributed to decreased enrollment and a mandate from the governor for reduced budgets across CSU campuses, causing deep concern among the university community.
We are losing four full-tenured professors who have almost 100 years of experience, teaching our students, serving our community; we are devastated by the cuts.
We're trying to save athletics, we're trying to save the university, we're trying to save faculty and staff.
