The #SSU cuts weren't random, but drawn from across the liberal arts and sciences. Pre-professional programs were spared. The agenda is to replace higher education with vocational education, and not just at SSU. CA Legislature: In an age of misinformation, we need higher education. #SonomaState

If SSU can be saved, it's up to the legislature. They need to say: (1) No CSUs are going to close, (2) Give SSU what it needs to survive, and (3) Including not only money but also new leadership with a plan to make the most of the campus's assets. #SSU #SonomaState

Why does #SonomaState have financial issues? Same issue all CS and UC have, bloat at top:
The interim president of Sonoma State University, Emily Cutrer, has a base salary of $381,408. She also receives an additional $60,000 per year for housing and a $1,000 monthly car allowance.

Keep in mind every day that the plan to save #SonomaState is being crafted by the same people who made the plan to destroy Sonoma State, and who have demonstrated their utter disregard for the community. There needs to be an alternate competing plan.

This is from the legislative hearings on the future of #SonomaState, held February 21, 2025. The congressman who has represented this campus "forever" understands #SSU better than the CSU system itself does. The rot at the CSU system goes all the way to the top, and the legislature must intervene.

According to President CUTrer, "Because attendance at the Town Hall...is expected to surpass the capacity of any campus facility, the meeting will instead be held virtually." Surely this is not so. The Green Music Center opens up. They should look us in the eye. #SSU #SonomaState #LookUsInTheEye

Strange when they say to think interdisciplinary, then tell us that Philosophy, Economics, and Geology can be removed without much harm -- as if only your major mattered. In fact, most units should be GEs and electives. So everyone is hurt, not just a few under-enrolled majors. #SSU #SonomaState

Colleges and universities in the U.S. are facing some strong headwinds on enrollment figures, forcing some tough conversations.
