San Francisco Examiner reports that the ACCJC has inserted itself into negotiaitons

The San Francisco Examiner reports that the ACCJC has been offering advice in regards to negotiations.  This is clearly not a good thing.  The article states:  

Recently, AFT 2121 discovered that the administration has been listening to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) about negotiations; the accreditor, already disgraced in its improper actions toward many of California’s community colleges, has no business putting its hands into bargaining. Why is CCSF administration continuing to listen to an organization that “no longer meets the needs of California,” according to the state Community College Board of Governors?

San Francisco voted to offer CCSF additional funding for stabilization.   But their District has proven to primarily spend on their Administration.  Some earning as high as 6 figures.  It states:

Where are the administration’s priorities? While they give lip service to the idea of rebuilding the college, their actions speak louder than words. This spring, they have already begun implementing the 26 percent cuts. In some cases, students have enrolled in classes, paid for books, and begun studying, only to have their classes canceled several weeks into the semester. In others, administration cut classes that were vital to student goals such as the associate degree or transfer to a four-year university before the semester started, even when the enrollment numbers were viable.


One wonders why they have continued adding to the administrator ranks and paying the top brass six figures in the midst of class and program reductions. Faculty and student leaders fought and won three years of stabilization funding to make sure we could survive the accreditation crisis.
