AB 1942 goes to Governor's Desk.

Assembly Bill 1942 in the California Legislature passed and now goes to the Governor to sign.  According to the San Francisco Examiner, it is a bill that:

seeks to make the accreditation system for California's 112 community colleges more transparent landed on the desk of Gov. Jerry Brown this week after receiving unanimous support from the state Senate and Assembly.
Brown has until Sept. 30 to veto or sign into law Assembly Bill 1942, which would require an accrediting agency to report accreditation decisions to the Legislature, such as last summer's vote by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges to revoke City College of San Francisco's accreditation.

Of course with any form of legislation, the details may be a problem.  Joshua Pechthalt had an OpEd in the Sacramento Bee.  He states:

AB 1942 will not fix everything that is wrong with California accreditation practices. It merely says that the commission must give biannual reports to the Legislature about policy changes that may affect a college, and must report to the appropriate subcommittee whenever issuing a decision affecting a college’s accreditation status.
This modest outcome underscores the importance of pushing forward with other efforts. With any luck, the city attorney’s suit will conclude with City College open and accredited. Its elected board of trustees, replaced during the crisis by an unaccountable “supertrustee,” should be restored to office.
The governor should sign AB 1942. Next year, California’s elected officials can build on this beginning to reform community college accreditation practices so that schools can concentrate less on responding to the commission’s destructive dictates and more on the mission of educating the people of California. 

Joshua Pechthalt is president of the California Federation of Teachers.
