Budget problems in California have now caused yet another employee bumping at City College of San Francisco. Many of us are saddened and shocked that Mary Parke, our Senior Instructional Designer of Technology Mediated Instruction, will no longer have a job at CCSF as of July 1. Mary has been incredibly helpful, innovative, and resourceful, and our faculty, students, and programs will suffer on many levels without her skills, knowledge, and responsiveness. Obviously this bumping system has serious flaws, but perhaps by signing this petition we'll be able to preserve Mary's position at CCSF and continue to build on the progress we have made since she became our instructional designer. We need Mary. Please sign. Thank you.

The stories shared in the comments regarding the impact of Mary's work at the college serve as a powerful reminder of how much this position truly matters to our daily operations. I am currently reaching out to administrators to ensure they understand the depth of this concern before any transition becomes permanent.

Reaching this level of support confirms that Mary is truly essential to the fabric of our college. It is heartening to see so many people acknowledge her contributions during this period of uncertainty.

CCSF is falling apart. Losing someone as talented as Mary makes no sense if we actually care about student success.

I have worked with Mary for years and she is literally the best. Don't let her go.

SHAME ON THE ADMINISTRATION. Fix the budget without firing the good ones.

Keep her! She basically built our online program from the ground up. This bumping rule is total garbage.

Mary helped me so much with my course design. CCSF wont be the same without her help.

Mary is the only person who actually knows how to fix the tech in the labs. This is such a huge mistake for the college.
