Audit report shows ACCJC problems

The LA Times and other sources report that the audit mandated by the California Legislature has found significant faults in regards to the ACCJC's application of standards.  The article states: 

"This report concludes that inconsistent application of the accreditation process and a lack of transparency in that process are weakening the accreditation of California's community colleges," state Auditor Elaine M. Howle wrote.
The report will add fuel to criticism from many faculty members, students and lawmakers that the Novato-based commission erred when it moved last year to pull accreditation from City College of San Francisco as of July 31. The troubled 80,000-student institution was cited for long-running financial and governance problems.

The ACCJC has responded with a letter.  It accuses the results of being based on the "third party" complaint by the AFT/CFT.
