"content": "\u003cp>Hundreds of students and staff gathered at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sonoma-state\">Sonoma State University\u003c/a> on Thursday, angry and grieving one week after the school announced massive cuts to academic departments and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024572/sonoma-state-coaches-call-federal-investigation-elimination-athletics\">elimination of its NCAA athletics program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gathering at Seawolf Plaza came as university officials held a town hall to discuss the cuts — a meeting that was shifted to a virtual format because it was “expected to surpass the capacity of any campus facility,” interim President Emily Cutrer said this week. The move angered many students who were hoping for an opportunity to speak with the administrators face-to-face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, students, faculty members, coaches and groups supporting many of the departments slated to be cut swarmed around a large outdoor screen to watch the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boos erupted from the crowd as Cutrer and other administrators appeared on screen at 1:30 p.m. Students yelled for the interim president to “go back to Texas” and called her a “liar” as she answered questions. They cheered along with others on screen who called for accountability and expressed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023790/sonoma-state-is-reeling-after-huge-cuts-where-does-the-school-go-from-here\">frustration over the rollout of the cuts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Natalie Santoyo Martinez, a second-year liberal studies student, said the administration could have chosen to move the town hall to the Green Music Center, or even the courtyard students and staff were gathered in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they did that only because they’re scared,” she told KQED. “They’re scared of what we have to say, and they’re scared to see our faces, and they’re scared of us crying and pleading with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023598/sonoma-state-is-eliminating-athletics-slashing-several-degree-programs-to-cut-budget\">were announced Jan. 22\u003c/a> in an email from Cutrer. She said the university would be slashing more than 20 degree programs, six departments and all 11 of its NCAA Division II athletic programs at the end of the academic year in the face of a massive budget deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the announcement, students and staff have pushed back, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024188/sonoma-state-plans-to-cut-all-athletics-coaches-athletes-fighting-back\">launching a legal fight\u003c/a> and amassing more than 5,000 signatures across multiple petitions urging the school to back off its plan to lay off 60 employees and shut down liberal arts degree programs.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
