Professor Missé Comments on SF State Staff Layoffs

GOLDEN GATE XPRESS -- Blanca Missé, who works in the Modern Languages and Literatures Department in the French program, said that faculty is in solidarity with staff and won’t stand idle as co-workers are being laid off.

“Before laying off or taking furloughs for staff or faculty, we need to have full budget transparency, and we need to chop from the top,” Missé said. “If someone needs to go here, it is the top administrators because top administrators have been growing and growing, and the tenured density has been decreasing.”
