5/7/24: "Community College of Denver relocates graduation amid protests at Auraria Campus"- As an employee impacted by this, I did not mind so much because this location was easier for me to get to. At the same time this location didn't have enough parking for the staff let alone for students bring guests. I understand the last minute changes, parking was a nightmare. Several staff were nearly hit by people frustrated by the parking situation or were yelled at. There was also a police presence just incase protestors decided to show up. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/community-college-of-denver-graduation/73-d1da95a7-7c14-449c-9152-71ea36c4088a "Protesters detained, ticketed at Auraria Campus building"- https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/protesters-detained-auraria-campus/73-6c5392e7-f789-4f77-bb1d-50969ef62426
5/14/24: "Aurora mayor calls for the Colorado Community College System's Lowry Campus to be sold"- I think this is a bad idea. This land could be expanded into an amazing campus. At least 3 schools, CCD/CCA/ and UNC, have been using the buildings. Then I also know that CCA has used one of the buildings in tandem with national and international military and rescue teams to do drills. This land has been well used, but does need some upkeep. It also needs more food options for students since it is in a food desert. I will admit that the schools were not keeping the buildings student friendly. Most looked like prisons and students should have been giving the chance to paint murals. Also there were not a lot of sitting places for students including in the north building and this made them not really ADA friendly. This is a mistake a lot of places make. https://www.denver7.com/news/front-range/aurora/aurora-mayor-calls-for-the-colorado-community-college-systems-lowry-campus-to-be-sold
