Troubles at Pasadena City College

Tensions between the Administration and Faculty at Pasadena City College has exploded into a sort of existential crisis on that campus.  The tensions apparently managed to get the attention of the LA Times.  The article reports

Pasadena City College's stature as one of the state's best two-year schools wasn't lost on members of a visiting team of advisors this year. "You've got a great reputation," one member told campus employees.
But that reputation, and maybe even the school's accreditation, was in danger, said Scott Lay, the president of the Community College League of California. Not because the school's finances were in disarray or that academic offerings were suffering, but because faculty and administration couldn't get along.

For accreditation, it is important for both parties to be on the same page.  How this will get worked out at Pasadena is something to monitor.
