As City College of San Francisco struggles to fix management problems and remain accredited, the school is also losing so many students that it faces a cut of at least $23 million in state funding next year if nothing is done.
So state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, introduced a bill Monday to give City College nearly as much money over the next four years as if it weren't losing thousands of students.
"This funding will help us avoid the death spiral," City College Chancellor Art Tyler said, noting that without it the college would have to cut more classes and continue to shrink, which would cost it even more state funding because money is allocated by the size of enrollment....
Although the college's accreditation was due to be revoked next July, a judge has barred that from happening until a trial can take place. Three lawsuits have been filed against the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges by faculty, by college supporters, and by the city itself.
