SF Examiner. Cry for help unheeded at CCSF
SF Examiner
Pamila Fisher, former CCSF leader, quickly appealed for help to save the school's accreditation, but emails show meaningful aid didn't arrive until Brice Harris became state chancellor in November.
Three days after receiving word that City College of San Francisco would receive the most severe sanction issued by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, interim CCSF Chancellor Pamila Fisher asked state education officials for help.
She didn't get the help she sought.
"I know everyone is trying hard to help City College," Fisher wrote on July 6, 2012. "But getting a report 6-8 weeks following field work may be too late to be of real assistance.
"We have only 3 months to prepare a feasible plan. We are facing huge political resistance from just about every constituency. There are things that need to be said by an outside neutral reviewer. That would at least help provide an easier beginning to some very tough discussions, let alone decisions."
