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.
