SFSU College of Ethnic Studies Fights for Budget Survival, Wins Year Reprieve - FRANCES KAI-HWA, NBC

Students and faculty of San Francisco State University's (SFSU) College of Ethnic Studies packed a meeting with the university's president and provost Thursday to discuss new budgetary guidelines that college faculty said would incapacitate the program, the landmark first ethnic studies program in the nation. "This is a longstanding budget crisis. It may in fact not be a 'new budget cut,'" Andrew Jolivette, chair of SFSU's American Indian studies department, told NBC News. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/sfsu-college-ethnic-studies-fights-budget-survival-wins-year-reprieve-n526691
