And they were giving themselves raises every year in spite of financial troubles.
And on top of that they were threatened to have their accreditation taken away.

Thus is why they have a trustee restructuring their budget.

Do you know anything about this college or are you basing this statement off of the fact that San Francisco is a liberal city?

Yep. A friend of mine who's an instructor at CCSF says that it has too many administrators who are too highly paid.

It doesn't help that -- per the article -- state funding for community colleges has been cut.

CCSF has approximately 35,000 students. Many of them are the children of poor, often immigrant families (from Latin America and elsewhere) who use CCSF as a springboard toward 4-year degrees and/or careers.

Even if this gross generalization were true, which it isn't, how else would you suggest that a poor person try to improve his/her employability in a high-tech economy?

Are you suggesting that anyone who's poor deserves to stay poor, no matter how hard they're prepared to study in order to improve themselves?
