City College of SF legal case to be heard at State level

San Francisco Bay Guardian reports that the suit brought about by the SF City Attorney will be heard at the State level not the Federal level.  Also, there are forums being set up by various politicians.  It states:

Meanwhile, ACCJC is facing more scrutiny from elected officials. Congresswoman Jackie Speier, whose district covers the southern end of San Francisco (including City College’s main campus) is holding a forum tomorrow to address the question, “Is the accrediting process for California’s community colleges fair and accountable?”
Speier isn’t alone. Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and State Senator Jim Beall will be on hand to shine a light on the ACCJC’s practices. Beall is a notable attendee because he called for a state level inquiry into the ACCJC, which we covered previously (Changing the Narrative, Aug. 27).
