Students, faculty and public officials rallied to protect City College of San Francisco’s free tuition program from further budget cuts at City Hall on Wednesday.

Over 50 people participated in the protest against Mayor Daniel Lurie’s proposed budget while the Board of Supervisors input their changes before it’s finalized on Aug. 1. While the protest was against other cuts, many attendees were there to speak against the proposed 30% decrease in funding for the college’s free tuition program that would eliminate small cash grants for low-income students.
