Pasadena City College in California is facing backlash after its board of trustees unanimously voted to cancel the school’s screen printing program, the Pasadena Star-News reports.

Supporters of the program have called PCC’s decision a “crime” against the local community, with some alleging the cancellation was made in violation of the school’s bylaws, the article explains.

The college, for its part, says there were no improprieties and that the decision was handed down in accordance with established procedures.
