Members of the SFAI Action Group (Concerned Students & Alumni of SFAI) continue to work on the very important campaign to preserve a quality education at the San Francisco Art Institute, protect SFAI's integrity, and ensure labor justice on our campus.

Below is a video of one of our actions -- Laydown Not Layoffs -- a protest against the layoff of nearly 25% of our tenured faculty. We are planning more actions, including educational and outreach activities, for the 2009 - 2010 academic year.

Baodao's film Let's Go To Art School (2009) was screened at the SFAI MFA 2009 Film and Video Exhibition at SFMOMA.
