Vol. 73/No. 30 August 10, 2009
I heard about this protest on Facebook and thought I should come show support, said Mariya Yefremova, president of the Political Science Association and a member of the Womens Rights Coalition. Hunter College is great, but this is like a slap in the face.
College officials justify the cuts by saying that the space is underutilized. The current child-care capacity of the center is 68 children. The 25 percent cut brings the capacity down to the fall 2008 enrollment.
Protesters countered the officials claims, explaining that the centers availability to students who need its services has not been adequately promoted. As of July 22 information on the CLC was not readily available to view on the colleges Web site.
I didnt even know we had child care available here! said one campus worker who walked by the protest.
