Participants say this represents the first strike at a private arts college in the U.S. since 2012 and the first strike at a private college in California since a 1976 strike at Pepperdine University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CCA’s chapter of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021 alleges that the college breached labor laws when, without first securing the permission of union representatives, it eliminated the positions of multiple employees who were seeking to come back from a pandemic-induced furlough, offering them different roles—and in at least one instance, lower pay. The union also claims that CCA created multiple seasonal job positions without its blessing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in a statement on its website, \u003ca href=\"https://portal.cca.edu/working/office-human-resources/staff-union-updates/collective-bargaining-fact-check/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the college said\u003c/a> it gave the union proper notice of these changes and that these allegations “are without merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike is planned to continue on the San Francisco campus through Feb. 11, with the exception of a Feb. 9 demonstration, which will take place on the school’s Oakland campus.

This means a significant amount of the student body will be missing out on classes this week, a scenario CCA administration points to as detrimental for all parties involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time when we are making rapid progress in negotiations and have reached agreement on so many items, a strike benefits no one—not our staff, not our faculty, and certainly not our students, who have just returned to fully in-person classes for the first time in nearly two years,” a CCA spokesperson wrote in an email to KQED. “The college has called on the union to show respect for the process and continue our progress by coming back to the negotiating table.

Per that agreement, the UC Regents are currently the landlords for the art school’s Chestnut Street campus. If the sale to USF proceeds as planned, USF will assume responsibility for the Chestnut Street campus and its assets, including the Diego Rivera mural, which the Board of Supervisors voted to bestow landmark designation upon in January 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear if the tenant agreement with the UC Regents will continue after the sale.

In 2020, SFAI explained that talks stalled with an unnamed larger institution when the coronavirus pandemic hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “integration” follows a similar move at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888178/mills-college-to-merge-with-northeastern-university-after-months-long-court-battle\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mills College\u003c/a>, which will become “Mills College at Northeastern University.” That change will take effect around July 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement provided to KQED, USF says faculty and staff are a priority during this period of due diligence before the sale is finalized. “Part of the potential framework would allow current SFAI full-time faculty to join USF as members of the USF (full-time) Faculty Association,” USF says, “and to retain their rank and tenure status.” SFAI adjunct faculty would need to apply for open positions at USF, with no guarantee of employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Facing budget shortfalls and decreased enrollment, SFAI announced that it would not be enrolling new students for the fall 2020 semester. The art school began encouraging students who could not complete their degrees before May to transfer elsewhere, preparing their staff and faculty for mass layoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the nearly two years since, SFAI has remained open in a limited capacity, offering classes to a greatly reduced student body. Current enrollment is just 56 students. In a statement provided to KQED, SFAI said, “Joining with USF would provide new opportunities for SFAI students while stabilizing SFAI’s future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2020, the University of California Regents saved SFAI from foreclosure by buying SFAI’s $19.7 million debt from a private bank. Per that agreement, the UC Regents are currently the landlords for the art school’s Chestnut Street campus. If the sale to USF proceeds as planned, USF will assume responsibility for the Chestnut Street campus and its assets, including the Diego Rivera mural, which the Board of Supervisors voted to bestow landmark designation upon in January 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear if the tenant agreement with the UC Regents will continue after the sale. USF said the school “is in communication with the UC Regents regarding their ongoing organizational relationship with SFAI and the resolution of any outstanding financial obligations going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFAI also holds a 60-year lease on a Fort Mason campus, a space that has been rented out since the pandemic to other nonprofit organizations, including the Hamlin School, and used for temporary exhibitions by the Svane Family Foundation and Gallery Wendi Norris. USF said the school will explore options for the property in consultation with SFAI and Fort Mason Center. According to SFAI, “The intention is for all students and faculty to benefit from the quality assets and facilities at SFAI, including Fort Mason in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFAI Board Chair Lonnie Graham is quoted in the announcement saying, “This union would create an innovative confluence of the arts and academics to advance a curriculum that reinforces the value of the arts in changing the world.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In a bullet-point list of what appear to be frequent email topics, the auto-reply states that the release date for the next grant cycle “has not been identified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson from the Office of the City Administrator, which oversees GFTA, provided KQED with a statement about the delays: “Many city departments are experiencing staffing impacts currently as the result of the pandemic. It has and will continue to be a priority to get grant funding and contracts out to all of our city service providers and the Arts Commission and Grants for the Arts staff are working together to do just that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GFTA grantees who spoke to KQED say it’s been difficult to get in contact with anyone at the organization to even check on the status of their grant agreements. KQED’s multiple calls to the office went unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arts administrators say that in past years, even during the pandemic, the granting process worked fairly smoothly and on schedule; staff were accessible and supportive of the organizations GFTA funded. But they began to notice a string of departures from GFTA after Director Vallie Brown was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13892925/vallie-brown-appointed-to-lead-sfs-main-nonprofit-arts-funding-agency\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">appointed to the position\u003c/a> by Mayor London Breed in February 2021.

The mass email, says Gray Area’s Threw, made it unclear who was actually missing information. “Do you have our stuff or not?” he wondered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just got to be very frustrating where people were thinking they were done, and then all of a sudden, everybody was thrown off,” says Thomas. “What if I can’t prove that I sent it in? And what if I lose my funding?” he remembers asking. “I mean, it’s a major source of funding for a lot of small organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Walsh, executive director of ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco, says they still don’t have a grant agreement despite having submitted all the required documents. “We did receive an email explaining they are working hard to get agreements out so they can begin processing reimbursements,” Walsh wrote via email, emphasizing that GFTA is one of the organization’s primary funders and they are deeply grateful for the support. While hopeful that GFTA will get agreements and payments out to people as soon as possible, Walsh wrote, “Funding delays do put a strain on our operating budget, since we use funding for fixed costs, including rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the arts administrators KQED reached out to for this article would not go on the record about their experiences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic is still going on,” says Thomas of San Francisco Center for the Book. “There’s no more Paycheck Protection Program, there’s no more of this other funding. No one wants to speak out against an organization where they may be getting some substantial funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that GFTA has been such an amazing organization,” Thomas continues. “There’s no reason it couldn’t come back and be that again, but it just feels like it’s going through a rough patch.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rough patch, unfortunately, that affects the bottom line of 226 San Francisco arts nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This story includes reporting by Julian Sorapuru.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In a bullet-point list of what appear to be frequent email topics, the auto-reply states that the release date for the next grant cycle “has not been identified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson from the Office of the City Administrator, which oversees GFTA, provided KQED with a statement about the delays: “Many city departments are experiencing staffing impacts currently as the result of the pandemic. It has and will continue to be a priority to get grant funding and contracts out to all of our city service providers and the Arts Commission and Grants for the Arts staff are working together to do just that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GFTA grantees who spoke to KQED say it’s been difficult to get in contact with anyone at the organization to even check on the status of their grant agreements. KQED’s multiple calls to the office went unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arts administrators say that in past years, even during the pandemic, the granting process worked fairly smoothly and on schedule; staff were accessible and supportive of the organizations GFTA funded. But they began to notice a string of departures from GFTA after Director Vallie Brown was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13892925/vallie-brown-appointed-to-lead-sfs-main-nonprofit-arts-funding-agency\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">appointed to the position\u003c/a> by Mayor London Breed in February 2021. All four staff members who worked at GFTA prior to Brown’s arrival have since retired or left, and only one new employee has joined. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13892960\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/VallieBrown.jpg\" alt=\"A woman in a blue patterned shirt poses smiling\" width=\"800\" height=\"619\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13892960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/VallieBrown.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/VallieBrown-160x124.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/VallieBrown-768x594.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vallie Brown was appointed as director of Grants for the Arts by Mayor London Breed. \u003ccite>(Andrew Rettmann)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perhaps as a result of these staffing changes, current GFTA grantees have been asked to re-submit their information as many as four or five times in recent months, sowing confusion and anxiety in an already strained sector. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Thomas, executive director of San Francisco Center for the Book, remembers when GFTA had a staff of five. “The general feeling is that a lot of really good people have left for whatever reason, that it’s now vastly understaffed in order to be able to do all the good things that they had been doing in the past,” he says. “And that the process has become a big mystery that is really sort of stressing people out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘What if I lose my funding?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After months of being asked for and resubmitting their information, GFTA grantees received a Nov. 11 email from Brown. The subject line read “URGENT”: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I appreciate how the lion’s share of the organizations we’re privileged to support have diligently worked to meet the requirements for our FY22 General Operating Support grant. However, many of you continue to have outstanding documentation, which impedes my staff’s (and those who are helping us from the SFAC) ability to generate your contracts. … \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If GFTA does not have all of your documents by Wednesday, November 17, 2021, we cannot guarantee your contract will be executed in a timely manner. The onus is on you to make sure you are in compliance with my department and the City, and I hope you’re able to be responsive to the emails that my staff has been distributing for several weeks.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Even administrators who knew all their materials were in good standing suddenly felt doubt. The mass email, says Gray Area’s Threw, made it unclear who was actually missing information. “Do you have our stuff or not?” he wondered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just got to be very frustrating where people were thinking they were done, and then all of a sudden, everybody was thrown off,” says Thomas. “What if I can’t prove that I sent it in? And what if I lose my funding?” he remembers asking. “I mean, it’s a major source of funding for a lot of small organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Walsh, executive director of ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco, says they still don’t have a grant agreement despite having submitted all the required documents. “We did receive an email explaining they are working hard to get agreements out so they can begin processing reimbursements,” Walsh wrote via email, emphasizing that GFTA is one of the organization’s primary funders and they are deeply grateful for the support. While hopeful that GFTA will get agreements and payments out to people as soon as possible, Walsh wrote, “Funding delays do put a strain on our operating budget, since we use funding for fixed costs, including rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the arts administrators KQED reached out to for this article would not go on the record about their experiences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic is still going on,” says Thomas of San Francisco Center for the Book. “There’s no more Paycheck Protection Program, there’s no more of this other funding. No one wants to speak out against an organization where they may be getting some substantial funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that GFTA has been such an amazing organization,” Thomas continues. “There’s no reason it couldn’t come back and be that again, but it just feels like it’s going through a rough patch.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rough patch, unfortunately, that affects the bottom line of 226 San Francisco arts nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He is ninth in line to the throne, landing after Charles, William, William’s three kids, Harry, and Harry and Meghan’s two children. In that order.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The peak of Andrew’s celebrity came in the late 1980s after he married Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson (who \u003cem>Friends\u003c/em> fans might remember from Season 4’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s9aoeeGwJA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">London episode\u003c/a>). The couple were tabloid staples throughout the ’80s and early ’90s, and had two daughters—Princess Beatrice in 1988 and Princess Eugenie in 1990. (You might recognize the sisters from \u003ca href=\"https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a22629594/princess-eugenie-princess-beatrice-cried-royal-wedding-hats/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the crazy crap they wore on their heads to William’s wedding\u003c/a>.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Andrew first became friends with Ghislaine Maxwell in the mid-1980s when she was studying at Oxford University. The English upper classes have a tendency to stick together, and Maxwell was both wealthy and well-connected thanks to her father, Robert, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a controversial media tycoon.\u003c/a> The Maxwells’ press links would have undoubtedly been alluring for Andrew.
