CSU WGS Programs Call for Reinstatement of SSU WGS. Our department in support and solidarity of Sonoma State University WGS

CSU WGS Programs Call for Reinstatement of SSU WGS. Our department in support and solidarity of Sonoma State University WGS | Department of Women and Gender Studies Dear CSU Chancellor Garcia, Governor Newsom, members of the California State Legislature, SSU Interim President Cutrer, and SSU Provost Moranski,

WGS professor and Chair Martha Kenney, and professor of Anthropology Martha Lincoln on the recent investment of CSU on AI - read full article here:

CSU says its ‘AI-powered university’ is good for higher education. But is it? The integration of AI into higher education is essentially an unregulated experiment. Why should our students be the guinea pigs?

The Community Resource Room (CRR) is a space of collective care—supporting job searches, housing access, mental health resources & bilingual assistance to ensure language justice. This is what solidarity looks like. Check The Women's Building of San Francisco Annual Report to see our impact & support our work! 💜✊ Get involve at womensbuilding.org
