From the office of Nancy Pelosi:
Still Strong, Still Committed, Still City College
City College is an indispensable part of San Francisco – one of our most important ladders of opportunity. The education CCSF provides has enabled thousands of San Franciscans young and old to invest in themselves and build a better future for themselves and their families.
On Tuesday, the Department of Education responded to my inquiry about the veracity of public statements from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC). The Department of Education’s welcome response proves that ACCJC is able grant CCSF a good-cause extension of accreditation. For the ACCJC to refuse to allow good-cause extension – even after this clarification from the Department of Education, even after all the monumental progress City College has made along its Roadmap to Success – would be destructive, irresponsible, and could be viewed as a political act. For the livelihood of the students, the community, and the state, the ACCJC must send in a new evaluation team with a fresh set of eyes and allow a good-cause extension of accreditation, a team that can see the progress that CCSF has already made. CCSF is still strong, still committed, and still City College.
