Save SFAI Faculty
The Petition
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the Board of Trustees and Administration of the San Francisco Art Institute rescind the layoff notices for the following nine tenured faculty (in order of number of years at SFAI):
Janis Crystal Lipzin- 31 years service
Robert Johnson- 29 years service
Pat Klein- 25 years service
Suzanne Olmsted- 17 years of service
Jon Lang- 16 years of service
Charles Boone- 13 years of service
John Rapko- 12 years of service
Stephanie Ellis- 11 years of service
Stacy Garfinkel- 10 years of service
We believe these layoffs represent a serious negative impact on the students' academic experience, the reputation, and the overall sense of community at SFAI and will result in an immediate and unresolvable distortion of the incredible curriculum cultivated, in part, by these nine long-serving professors. This action is essential for the preservation of the continuity, stability, and integrity of the Institute.

Thank you for your time and support,
Concerned Students and Alumni of SFAI
