The latest on the countdown to doom for City College San Francisco
is that they are trying to put a leader in who will lead them to the promised
land.
“New Chancellor
for Embattled City College of San Francisco”
“City College of San Francisco, fighting for its life amid an
accreditor's call to shut it down, will announced today the hiring of an
experienced administrator and antiterrorism expert as its first permanent
chancellor in 18 months, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The hiring of Arthur
Q. Tyler, former president of Sacramento City College and a former
state-appointed trustee at another California community college, Compton
College, comes at a time when the 80,000-student San Francisco institution is
reporting to a special trustee as it challenges a decision by the Accrediting
Commission for Community and Junior Colleges to strip its accreditation, citing
significant financial and management problems”.
“Today's announcement of a new chancellor is another step cited by
state community college leaders as evidence -- marshaled to try to make the
case to the accrediting agency -- that the institution has made significant progress in responding to the many issues
it cited”.
Why pay attention to this issue you ask? Because this is landmark
issue that could have resounding effects throughout California and then
ultimately the rest of the country. This is one of the “traditional schools”
being told to shut down remember?
When 80,000 public college students are being told they have to
find another home quickly, we should be paying attention.
