I love City College, and like most people I hate to see it down-sized.  But are the Board of Trustees really acting with evil intent if they abide by the dictates of the Board of Governors of the  California Community Colleges?  I campaigned for the three newest trustees, who were defying the state, but I was always wondering whether they would really have the power (and find the money)  to bring back the laid off instructors, raise salaries, and keep CCSF accredited.  Now CCSF has gotten a warning, and Supervisor Mandelman is asking the trustees to "explain how they will address their new accreditation problems and what they will do if they aren't about to find a 'suitable replacement' for Martin before he leaves on June 30."  David Martin was CCSF's nineth chancellor in eight years.  

I'm wondering what they're going to say and do!  

 

I wore the same bright yellow dress to SFMOMA's Farewell to the Rivera Mural of Pan American Unity that I'd worn in the early aughts, more than 20 years ago, when Dra. Guadalupe Rivera Marin was with us.

This time I'm posing with Jeff Goldthorpe and Vicki Simms, who both did a lot to promote the mural. The event turned out to center around Will Maynez, who's devoted his life to the mural for decades. Jeff Goldthorpe paid a tribute to Will as a slide of Will working on the mural was being shown.  I also spoke.   Michelle Barger, head of conservation at SF MOMA,  gave us the chance to write something on the back of the mural, and I wrote "Where there's a Will (Maynez), there's a way to keep the mural in the public eye."
