Calbright College may be flunking out. On Tuesday, a scathing report from the state auditor ripped the embattled online community college for failing to live up to its ideals. Among the key findings: Most of its students have dropped out or halted their academic progress and Calbright has no process to ensure its students obtain good jobs. Calbright, created in 2018, has never enjoyed legislative support. Its first champion, former Gov. Jerry Brown, and his successor, Gov. Gavin Newsom, have each muscled the experimental institution over the annual budget finish line, upsetting faculty groups and unions that call the college a boondoggle and say it siphons money from existing and beleaguered community colleges.
