Leaders of some community colleges asking for extension for CCSF

The LA Times reports that a number of community college leaders have signed off on a petition to give CCSF an additional few months to address the accreditation issues.  The article states: 

A group of community college chancellors and presidents is urging a private panel to maintain accreditation for City College of San Francisco while it works to improve its fiscal health and fix other problems.
The college leaders sent a letter late Monday to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges asking it to extend accreditation for 12 to 18 months beyond the July 31 deadline set by the panel.

Thirty-five educators signed the letter, which is part of a last-ditch statewide effort organized by Cindy Miles, chancellor of the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District in El Cajon and Constance M. Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District.
The number of supporters grew to 50 by Tuesday, including chancellors and presidents from districts in Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Jose, Santa Monica, Fullerton and Sacramento.
