Alessa Baldonado, a senior communicative disorders and sciences major, writes down what the student group thought of San Jose State University President Mahammad Qayoumi in a meeting on November 8, 2013. The group used the list to narrow their overall message of demonstration to disconnection, money and profit versus non-profit. Student reaction to news Wednesday of swift budgets cuts planned for the Spring 2014 semester is rising to the surface as some call for action against San Jose State University President Mohammad Qayoumi, despite the restoration of funds. “President Mo has got to go,” Will Cormier, a sophomore history major, said at a meeting in the Mosaic Cross Cultural Center on Friday, where 15 students gathered to talk about possible demonstrations surrounding the cuts. The proposed $16 million in cuts to SJSU’s base budget would result in larger class sizes, fewer section offerings and possibly fewer faculty members for departments such as English and comparative literature, John Engell, English department chair, told the Spartan Daily Wednesday after a meeting between the college deans and three members of SJSU's administration. http://spartandaily.com/112542/students-plan-demonstration-budget-cuts-qayoumi
