LA Times report new legislation to reform accreditation


The LA Times on Feb 19, 2014 reported that new legislation is being proposed to reform the ACCJC.  So it appears that the political angle is at work.  The article states:

The Fair Accreditation for California Community Colleges Act (AB 1942), would restore "transparency, accountability and due process" by establishing new standards for accrediting the state's 112 community colleges, said Assemblyman Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), who introduced the legislation at a Sacramento news conference.
The reforms are aimed at the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, the private Novato-based agency whose move to revoke accreditation from the financially troubled City College of San Francisco created a storm of controversy and backlash.
The bill is worth following since it may have a direct impact upon us.  Concurring articles from the San Francisco Examiner also corroborates the proposal.
