Town Hall Meeting with Senator Padilla on Budget Crisis
On March 11 more than 250 students and faculty members gathered to attend a town hall meeting with Senator Alex Padilla to discuss the effects of the budget crisis on community colleges. Senator Padilla provided an opportunity for students and faculty members to ask questions concerning the future of community colleges in California. Students voiced their concerns about the impact it would have if a decision were made to increase tuition and to slash billions in education funding statewide.

The town hall meeting was organized by the Students Having Awareness Rising to Progress (S.H.A.R.P.) Club.
