Cathy Tran, 19, bio-chem major,

“I’m in support of anything that betters our community by creating more jobs for people. It seems like something that creates a safer environment is a good investment.”

CV $8milli (2 of 3).jpg — Annas Sultan, 20, computer science major, feels $8 million is unnecessary spending on facilities that in a functional state and that the money should go to other newer facilities for a larger portion of students. "The campus itself already as issues the deal with apart from a the parking structures, money that should go to other departments that will help a great amount of students."

Alyssa Lagunas, 19, liberal studies major

“I think it’s for a good cause but I also think they should use the money for something else, like maybe making the books cheaper for us and helping ( those students) who can’t get financial aid.”

Francisco Valdez, 18, administration of justice major,

“I don’t see there been a use for it (a new training facility) right now (because) there is one facility already in Inglewood and maybe that $8 million goes to something more beneficial for everyone else.”
