Dive Brief:
- A faculty union is suing to stop a commission from revoking City College of San Francisco's accreditation, which would shut down the school for its 80,000 students.
- The commission cited the school last year for fiscal and governance deficiencies.
- The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges issued a statement that said in part that some faculty and staff "appear to be trying to reverse the commission's actions rather than meet accreditation standards."
Dive Insight:
There are a lot of layers here. The accrediting commission itself is being reviewed by the U.S. Department of Education, which found problems that it ordered the commission to correct. Meanwhile, the college's administrators are asking the commission to reverse its decision.
