CCSF Board of Trustees and Chancellor David Martin
According to this article by 48Hills, Chancellor Martin's new salary is "$315,000 as chancellor, $55,000 more than he currently earns at Monterey Peninsula College, although $46,352 less than City College’s last permanent chancellor, Mark Rocha, who was placed on paid leave in March 2020."
This means he is earning more money in one month than I (Laura Cohen) make in a year, even while working 4-5 jobs at a time. If CCSF is so desperate for money that it is willing to decimate course offerings by firing teaching staff, then the Chancellor can manage to take a temporary pay cut to stop the destruction. Chancellor Martin doesn't deserve to have his salary raised just to take away jobs from our teachers, who are nearly all part-timers at risk of getting laid off alongside classified staff, and are largely Black, Indigenous, people of color struggling to make ends meet.

The Chancellor should take a pay cut instead of cutting 50 full time jobs, and up to 300 part time ones, at CCSF. If we are so desperate for money that we are willing to destroy the very thing that makes this school great (our teaching staff) then the Chancellor can take a temporary pay cut. He lived on $55,000 less a year before, he doesn't deserve to have his salary raised just to take away our most valuable resource as a school. Taking away jobs from our teachers who are nearly all part-timers at risk of getting laid off alongside classified staff is shameful, especially considering that they are largely Black, Indigenous, people of color struggling to make ends meet.
