Cal Poly Queer Student Union agregó un evento.
Our University and our Nation are in crisis. The just and equitable United States that we envision does not exist. The just and equitable Cal Poly that we envision does not exist. At Open House, we are supposed to showcase the entirety of our university. We choose to highlight ALL of our campus-- including the crises that we are (and have always been) under.
----------
SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR CRISES:
- Over the past 18 months, 100% of our Cross Cultural Center staff have left th...e University. 40% of black staff and faculty have left over the same period of time.
- 1 in 4 California State University students are food insecure, and 1 in 10 are homeless.
- Tuition has increased 283% since 2002, and is set to increase another 5% next year, despite the continued resistance by our communities against these increases. Cal Poly SLO also has the highest tuition and fees of all CSU campuses.
----------
Since our University leadership continues to ignore the crisis we are in, we are taking it upon ourselves to educate, organize, and empower our communities. We will come together with one united voice to demand a socially just and equitable campus, a campus climate where everyone feels safe and valued, free and accessible higher education, and administrative accountability.
