By Ji Hyun Lim
After waiting patiently for 25 years for a new Chinatown/ North Beach community college campus site, faculty union and students of the City College of San Francisco were outraged that plans to build a new site may be halted for yet another year. In July (when the state budget was approved), Governor Gray Davis announced increased cuts to community colleges, directly impacting City Colleges plan to install a new building.
Supporters of the building vented their frustrations at Governor Davis during a press conference held last Wednesday.
