City College of San Francisco's fate to be decided this month?


It turns out that this is going to be the key month for the City College of San Francisco.  In January, the court case might be decided and also CCSF will know if they qualify for "Restoration" which is a new process created by the ACCJC to give CCSF two more years to get into compliance (with some prodding by the Department of Education).  


January is a crucial month for City College of San Francisco.
The commission trying to revoke its accreditation voted privately this week on whether to grant the college two more years to comply with standards, and could announce its decision at the end of its three-day meeting Friday in Sacramento — or delay the announcement for days or weeks.
Students, faculty and education officials are also waiting anxiously to learn whether a judge will uphold the commission’s original decision that City College should lose its accreditation and be shut down, or whether he’ll side with the city of San Francisco, which sued the commission and is asking the judge to toss out the negative judgment on grounds that the evaluation process was flawed.

 SF Examiner reported on the "Restoration" process, and there appears to be misgiving for this process as well.

The accrediting commission for City College of San Francisco will decide this week whether to grant the embattled school restoration status, a newly formed policy that would give the college two more years to meet accrediting requirements.
However, it could be up to a month before an announcement regarding the decision is made, according to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. The college cannot appeal if it is denied restoration status, and CCSF Chancellor Art Tyler previously said he had "serious reservations" when applying for the status in July.
