Construction on Chinatown Campus Halted

Community college supporters outraged at decision to cut funds

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 College’s plan to install a new building.

Supporters of the building vented their frustrations at Governor Davis during a press conference held last Wednesday. Over a dozen community organizers, campus instructors and media representatives, gathered outside the current location on Filbert Street. The initial plans to proceed with the architectural designs for the new site on Columbus and Washington Street stopped immediately upon hearing news of Davis’ last-minute decision to cut funds.

The Board passes resolution to commend ChinaBy

Ethen Lieser

Though China has been overwrought with alleged human rights violations during and after its winning bid for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, District 4 Supervisor Leland Yee has proposed adopting a resolution commending China for their successful effort during the Board of Supervisors meeting on Aug. 27.

The resolution was proposed on Aug. 23 to the Audit, Labor and Government Efficiency Committee, and passed with an 8-2 vote on its second reading.
