City College of San Francisco will face a ‘death spiral’ if its trustees don’t act soon - SF Chronicle

If City College were to lose its accreditation, the school would no longer be eligible for federal funding and students’ course credits would no longer be recognized by employers or four-year colleges. In other words, it would cease to be a school as we understand it. Unfortunately, City College is once again tempting fate due to poor decision making by its seven-member elected Board of Trustees. Despite the college’s bleak budget outlook, trustees unanimously passed a resolution to restore faculty positions cut in 2022 and recently voted to pay down the school’s retiree health liability more slowly than recommended.
