'Broken Heart Day' protest at Sonoma State over cuts to degree programs and athletics
Briefly

Sonoma State University is undergoing substantial funding cuts, prompting a Valentine's Day protest aimed at reversing the decision to eliminate 23 academic programs and the athletics department. Coaches, including Men's Soccer Head Coach Marcus Ziemer, are rallying support with over 10,000 signatures on petitions. The cuts come in light of a $375 million reduction in the California State University system's funding, which threatens student services and faculty salaries. Stakeholders are urging solidarity to emphasize the importance of CSU in social and economic mobility.
We're in a fight for our lives not just with athletics, but a lot of the programs that are being cut and the faculty.
It's so important that this board, the chancellor, the entire CSU community come together in a show of solidarity to remind Californians what's at stake.
