About 15 students gathered Monday at Sierra College in Sacramento, Calif. to protest the scarcity of classes for people majoring in deaf studies. According to the Sacramento Bee, the students complained that the classes they need to graduate are not always available. “If they offer a degree,” said Sierra graduate Sarah Hoffman, “we have a right to have classes to finish that degree.” Sierra spokeswoman Sue Michaels said limited class scheduling is a common problem at community colleges and a result of funding issues. “We’re very happy they’re helping highlight this very important issue,” she said. source
