The City College of San Francisco Board of Trustees unanimously approved a proposal to allow noncitizen students to vote in elections for the school's Board of Trustees, the college said Friday. Although City College of San Francisco endorsed the policy, it still has to be sent to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to be considered as a potential charter amendment and ballot initiative.
'Many of them wanted to have stronger input on their education. Allowing them to get their first experience voting for their college board will encourage them to become more invested in their school and community and become an active part of the American Democratic process.' Wong said groups like the United States Justice Foundation oppose the policy, believing that allowing Chinese citizens to vote would not solve the college's problems.
