Dive Brief:
- The commission with the City College of San Francisco’s accreditation in its sights has rejected the school’s request to reconsider revoking its credentials.
- The decision would ordinarily pave the way for an official appeal, but college officials say they have another plan: They want to force a new evaluation of City College by telling the commission the school’s mission and programs have substantially changed since its 2012 review.
- The school has presented paperwork showing that it has substantively changed how it delivers instruction, where instruction takes place, and who is in charge.
Dive Insight:
Although the commission's decision is a setback for the school, the school has won a reprieve, with a judge recently ruling that its accreditation cannot be revoked until after a trial.
