SF City College Submits Budget, Students Worried About Painful Cuts - Jeffrey Schaub, CBS

Administrators at San Francisco’s City College have completed an action plan they hope will convince a western states accreditation team that the school should stay in business. Some students, however, are worried some of the proposals will be a bit too painful. Second-year student Brendal Lee called his City College education critical. “It’s pretty important for me; I mean I moved up to San Francisco and came to school here so I can go to State or Cal. It gets me on my feet and my friends too,” Lee said. The college is in a massive financial hole, and could lose its accreditation. In a 57-page report the school’s new interim Chancellor, Dr. Thelma Scott-Skillman has proposed a number of measures, including closing a number of what they call “underused” campuses, including in the Castro and Presidio. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/10/16/sf-city-college-submits-budget-students-worried-about-painful-cuts/
