Apologies in advance if this subject has already been broached on Frameworks and slipped past me, but I've recently learned of the San Francisco Art Institute's decision to fire nine tenured faculty members, including Janis Crystal Lipzin, who has been at the Institute for over 30 years. I'm wondering what we can do collectively and as individuals to address the situation. Steve Anker has written a very eloquent and impassioned letter that is now circulating, and which can be read here (along with some additional letters):

Steve's letter is dated April 3rd. I'm curious what the administration's response has been since then, and if there are any other updates?
Thanks,
Brett Kashmere
