Tensions on campus were raised once City College students were informed this semester about the 40 percent budget cut in education.
City College students Ruth Welland, president of Voices of Hope Club, and Lincoln Scott, vice president of Voices of Hope Club, took matters into their own hands and rose to the occasion by speaking to the campus. Both students are part of the disabled services
and represented the voices of who opposed the cuts.
Welland and Scott both agreed that the cuts were “unfair,” especially to students who are striving for a great education.
“I wouldn’t be able to afford school books,” said Kathy Johnson, who attends City College and is part of disabled services. Richard Trimble, who is a City College staff member for disabled students, thought it would better for the government to raise taxes rather than cut education as a whole.
