- Selected Summary Testimony Before the California Community College Board of Governors
Return of CCSF Trustees to PowerThe second issue of interest was an item that proposed to return the elected trustees of CCSF to power. The item entitle “A Plan for Returning City College of San Francisco to Local Control” would remove the Special Trustee only after a series of steps and no later than July 1, 2016. The item noted that since the action to remove the elected board’s powers “the college has done extensive work to recover and to meet the ACCJC Eligibility Requirements and Accrediting Standards and to address the financial and fiscal control issues identified by FCMAT.” “Return of local control will not be done quickly and will require the college and local Board of Trustees to meet certain milestones in order to justify gradual return of authority of the local Board.” The oversight was broken down into the following categories: Phase I: Board In-service, Training and Orientation Phase II. Initial Board Meeting Participation Without Authority Phase III. Board Authority in Student Services and Educational Programming Phase IV. Board Authority For All Areas Other Than Finance Phase V. Board Authority in Finance Restored Phase VI. Board Authority Fully Restored
California Community College Chancellor Brice Harris give a brief background on how we got to this point and then went over some recommended changes in that document as a result of the conversations that he had with the Trustees at the City College of San Francisco (CCSF). [The serial meeting of elected Trustees is a violation of the Brown Act]. Harris outlined a brief history of the movement toward the decision to revoke CCSF’s accreditation. He noted that in 2012 a Special Trustee was appointed by the local board and then in July of 2012 the Board of Governors, at Harris’s recommendation, “elevated” the Special Trustee one with Extraordinary Powers (but did not supply a cape or other super powers) and removed power from the elected Board of Trustees. Harris went on to claim that “Since that time a dramatic amount of progress has been made at the college on behalf of the faculty, the staff, the management team, the students and the community. They worked extremely hard, and a lot of progress has taken place.” Harris then turned to ACCJC’s newly invented “Restoration Process” and how that “could allow CCSF another 24 months” after the loss of accreditation. He then affirmed that “the college did make application for that restoration and has submitted the necessary self-study and in fact today, tomorrow and Wednesday there is an accrediting visiting team on the campus having conversations with the college. It is our expectation that the team will make a report and at their January meeting the accrediting commission will make the determination as whether or not the college is admitted into restoration.” He continued: “It's important to note on a parallel track with this is a lawsuit by San Francisco City Attorney Herrera and the document that I have provided you in draft is only an assumption of the restoration process. There are a myriad of alternatives available to the judge in this case and depending on his findings this document could be become mute or certainly become alternate significantly.” Noting his conversation with the members of the newly elected CCSF Board of Trustees, he had decided to recommend changing the time period for returning the elected Board to full power to 9- 18 months. CCSF Trustee Rizzo spoke to his belief that “the requirement of no less than nine months is too long. We could do it sooner than that and we should not have to wait for nine months no matter what.” He noted that “The board was suspended two weeks after passing a balanced budget with a fully funded reserve and an eight year plan that was unprecedented for all of the community colleges.” He spoke to the accomplishments of the district over the previous year including recreating a dean structure as well as more that 36 policies. “In fact we passed every recommendation that the special trustee had put in front of us. We passed every one, most unanimous and still we did not get accreditation. Despite all of that, despite of us following the directions of the special trustee we didn’t get accreditation.” “We lost 35,000 students because of the idea that City College is going to close any day now. Returning the board to power would demonstrate to our students and prospective students that they don’t have to worry.” “We have been kept in the dark for the last 18 months. We don't know what is happening because they're not communicating with us and we need to start closed sessions right away.” Timothy Killekelly [President AFT Local 2121] spoke to the issue of the public’s perception of City College if the return of the elected board is not immediate. He stated that “People need to know that CCSF is being returned to the college that they knew for many, many years instead of it being in some special state take over on a semi-permanent basis.” Killekelly also noted that “The special trustee at City College is really not needed. The college is nowhere near insolvency. We have huge reserves. We have stabilization funding. What is really needed is for the local board to get local control again.” He called on the Board of Governors to “make your democracy commitment right here. “ Alvin Ja, a member of the general public, outlined the time that he thought it might take a person to go through the ACCJC accreditation handbook, the board policy manual, federal recognition criteria, Council for higher education accreditation recognition and policy and procedures, the Education code Title 3 community colleges, and the California Code of Regulations Title V (especially the finance and management and budget sections), as well as 2012 self evaluation, 2012 team visit report and show cause action letter, the Show cause team visit report and termination letter, and the request for review. He also included reading the appeal material and the appeal decision, Restoration policy and application of restoration application for restoration, the upcoming current self evaluation and also the road map to success. His time estimate was 18 days. He didn’t note that no other elected board of governors has read this much material on the workings of the community college system. He closed by suggesting that the Board of Governors needs to evaluate the super trustee. My presentation to the Board of Governors: On June 10, 2014 Brice Harris testified under penalty of perjury that "If I had known on July 8, 2013, that the rules of the Commission were going to be later interpreted to preclude consideration of any progress made by City College after June 2013, and that there existed no opportunity to preserve the accreditation of City College once the Commission made the decision to terminate it, I would not have asked the Board of Governors to take the extraordinary step of setting aside the locally elected Board of Trustees and to elevate the special trustee to one with extraordinary powers. Every signal from the Commission's President, Dr. Beno, was that there was an opportunity to save City College, that the "college may survive, with the right leadership." Chancellor Harris's testimony also disclosed a number of meetings, telephone calls, and e-mails between himself and ACCJC President Barbara Beno concerning the accreditation of City College of San Francisco (CCSF) and the leading up to the appointment of a trustee with extraordinary powers. It is not clear whether the ACCJC Commissioners or the Board of Governors were aware of this collaboration. Several of the two conversations between Beno and Harris occurred just prior to the vote by the Commission to remove the accreditation status of CCSF. It appears that Beno somehow knew how the Commission would vote even before the Commission met. In any case, immediately after the vote to terminate accreditation occurred (and before the vote was made public) Beno and Harris "spoke again for the purpose of working out what could be done to save City College." Harris reached the conclusion that from Beno's point of view, "the only way to save City College was for the Board of Governors to ‘take over' the college. The day Harris put out a video explaining the "take over", Beno wrote him an e-mail that read "Dear Brice: Beautiful job. Thanks for your video statement, And for all the rest. We are staying late, watching the various news accounts. I think generally the news is letting people know that the college may survive, with the right leadership. I look forward to watching your efforts. Have a good weekend." Harris (and the Board of Governors) was misled by Beno to believe that if CCSF made progress after the vote to terminate, that the Commission would consider those improvements. By November 2013 Harris recognized that he had made a mistake in trusting Beno: "Unfortunately, that advice worked against us. The Request for Review was denied on the basis that the Commission could only consider what occurred up until the decision to terminate was made by the Commission. The ruling made clear that nothing City College had done after that decision could or would be considered." Harris and the Board of Governors should have, at that point, removed Special Trustee Agrella and brought back the elected Board of Trustees. Instead they allowed Agrella and his appointees to dismantle CCSF's educational system that was consistent with the California Master Plan for Higher Education. [Once again for emphasis] Harris testified that " If I had known on July 8, 2013, that the rules of the Commission were going to be later interpreted to preclude consideration of any progress made by City College after June 2013, and that there existed no opportunity to preserve the accreditation of City College once the Commission made the decision to terminate it, I would not have asked the Board of Governors to take the extraordinary step of setting aside the locally elected Board of Trustees and to elevate the special trustee to one with extraordinary powers." Chancellor Harris and the Board of Governors should never have removed the duly elected Board of Trustees. One lesson to learn from both individual and national histories: Don't give in to a bully - it only encourages the bully to continue bullying. With this in mind, it is time to stand up against the ACCJC and its wholesale assault on California's community college. It is time to stop taking orders from Barbara Beno. It is time to start helping CCSF instead of helping to destroy it and all the quality education that it has provided over the years. Education Code 70901. (a) The Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges shall provide leadership and direction in the continuing development of the California Community Colleges as an integral and effective element in the structure of public higher education in the state. The work of the board of governors shall at all times be directed to maintaining and continuing, to the maximum degree permissible, local authority and control in the administration of the California Community Colleges. It is time for the Board of Governors to act in compliance with law and good practice and immediately return the elected CCSF Board of Trustees to full power. As the People vs. ACCJC testimony revealed, CCSF never should have been put on SHOW CAUSE. CCSF was never in a critical fiscal condition. CCSF should once again be treated in the same way as every other district in the state is treated with its own locally elected Board of Trustees. Monica Collins, a student and staffer at City College, stated that “the special trustee has been an unmitigated disaster.” Tarik Farrar, a CCSF Faculty Member, told the Board that “there is no rhyme or reason or basis for continuing the special trustee. He has failed at the main task he was set with and that is keeping the school open.” He also noted that Agrella and Thelma Scott Skillman made comments to the ACCJC that “they interpreted to mean that the school was in disarray” and that this act on their part “showed an incredible lack of judgment.” Farrar spoke to how CCSF as an educational institution ranks in the time five or six community colleges in California. He went on to say that “What happened to us it was an injustice that almost beggars the imagination. It's time for that to end and the best way to get CCSF where it needs to be is through the immediate institution of the democratically elected board of Trustees. It's that collective wisdom of elected body. It represents the best way to solve problems because if that was not the best way why don't we have kings? Why aren't we a monarchy if that's the best way to get things done? There's a West African proverb that says the hare cannot cross the river on the crocodile’s back. We are the hare and this whole process is the crocodile. It's time for us to get off the crocodile's back and to swim.” Chris Baum, Faculty Member at CCSF, noted that “What has happened to City College during the accreditation crisis is contrary to the principles of democracy and one example is your removal of their elected board of Trustees. The main rational for your removal was the actions of the ACCJC. Since they threatened the school with closure the ACCJC has been found by the U.S. Department of Education to not meet the criteria for recognition as an accrediting agency. They have been audited by the state of California and among the things they found was its inconsistent rules and appeal process. ACCJC has been sued by the City Attorney of San Francisco and as a result of that suit we now know that the ACCJC's visiting team that came to the college in 2012 unanimously did not think that City College should be placed on show cause. Furthermore, that same visiting team concluded that the programs at City College and these are their words ‘City College provides high quality instruction’.” “Even Chancellor Harris now says that City College shouldn't have been so harshly sanctioned and threatened with closure so this means that the rational for the state takeover no longer exists. In the interest of justice and democracy you should act to offer a resolution today that calls for immediately restoring the authority of City College's Board of Trustees. That was requested in a resolution unanimously passed last March by the people of San Francisco and the Board of Supervisors and enable you to put into practice as Tim said previously your democratic commitment which is one of the items on your agenda. This would be one small step correcting the damage done to City College.” James McFadden, CCSF music instructor, has been teaching music at City College of San Francisco since 1973 and during those 41 years also taught at College of San Mateo Community College and Santa Rosa Junior College. He stated that “City College was always my favorite place to teach however. I loved the bigness of the place, the halls on that first day of school every semester bursting with students eager to get into a class. This semester it was a ghost town. I loved the diversity of the student body. I had a wonderful student last semester who never missed a class and asked to take the final exam a week early because her kids were taking her on a cruise for her 90th birthday. I love the commitment to lifelong learning that City College and the people of San Francisco have made.” Carole Meagher, CCSF Business instructor, listed a few of the blunders that Dr. Agrella has made since coming to CCSF: “He spent time hiring and firing the administrators and shutting down shared governance instead of letting the leaders solve recognized problems and told the ACCJC but not our board in June 2013 that we didn't meet the standards despite a visiting team report that said otherwise. The ACCJC decided to terminate our accreditation just based on his comments behind our backs. A critical aspect of leadership, as you may know from your studies, is legitimacy. Dr. Agrella lacks legitimacy. This makes it difficult to make meaningful change and spills over to the chancellor's office and back room dealings and the mayor and so on. “ Wendy Kaufmyn, Engineering instructor at CCSF, spoke to the grave injustice and harm that has been done to CCSF by the actions of the ACCJC. She also spoke to the process around the appointment of the Special Trustee with Extraordinary Powers. “He was installed in July 2013 under two emergency resolutions. One was to change the rules that really only allowed such a move if the school was financially insolvent. City College wasn't as you heard Trustee Rizzo testify earlier, so you had to do an emergency change to your own rules and 30 seconds later install the special trustee and we know now it happened because Barbara Beno lead Brice Harris to believe that was the only way to save the school and I appreciate you want to save the school but we need to right the injustice and so much harm has happened and not just the fleeing of the students and like my colleague said the morale has never been lower. The special trustee made decision that are undemocratic and not accepted by the community. He stopped the construction of the Performing Arts Center that was looked forward to by the community and his action was totally unjustified. He's made many unpopular decisions. He is seen an outsider. I hear they're called carpet baggers and wrecking crews. These are the nice names.” “You need to understand the harm that is being done to our students. Please right this wrong. Get rid of the special trustee and restore the powers of the board immediately, yesterday. They should have never been taken away in the first place and no other college requires nine months of training for their democratically elected board to take power. You need to right the wrong and put them back now.” Anita Greer, a 15 year CCSF Trustee, stated that “It should astound no one that extraordinary powers and extraordinary decision making wisdom are universally antithetical. In my years as trustee I never would have imagined that in an accrediting commission would try to revoke the accreditation of a community college which had some internally resolvable problems but was respected nationally for academic excellence and humane treatment of our highly competent faculty and staff.” “Like other Trustees and most people in San Francisco I assumed until 2012 that the ACCJC was a legitimate organization committed to ensuring the instruction of quality and fiscal solvency. I now believe the crisis was manufactured; that the ACCJC was a privatizing agency and they're bureaucrats and their allies including people in this room are enemies of City College and the students and those that need a higher education that can change their lives don't have advocates on the Board of Governors. I am sorry to say that but I believe it. The five day court proceedings constitute the people's evaluation of the ACCJC's performance. I believe that the ACCJC has abused its power, provided no due process for challenging its harsh and irrational sanctions, and has disenfranchised thousands of students. Our democracy response to this tyranny has been to go to the lawmakers and the streets and the courts and we will continue to struggle on every front available to us until City College of San Francisco is fully accredited and once again providing the comprehensive life affirming and affordable education of 100,000 students as we did in the past. Our success can be the vanguard for re-energizing the California Master Plan for higher education and the liberation of students from the servitude of the trillion dollar student loan debt. I know we will overcome because our struggle is just.” Rodger Scott, a CCSF Faculty Member: “I'm a nervous and naive outsider in a bureaucratic theater of the absurd. I look forward to Superior Court Judge Karnow's decision, which, I believe, will be a significant victory for CCSF and the people we serve. The five-day trial itself was a great education since testimony revealed the arrogance, incompetence, opportunism, political agenda, and dishonesty of the ACCJC leadership. As a teacher who recognizes the subjectivity of grading performance, I give failing grades to the ACCJC commissioners and those in this room who facilitated their abuse of power. The testimony of the ACCJC leaders suggests they didn't have to pass any language or intelligence tests to get their jobs. How much common sense, deductive reasoning, professional ethics and educational leadership should it have taken the Board of Governors to realize that the ACCJC is an enemy of affordable and accessible public higher education? And where would we be today if those of us who believed the ACCJC sanctions were harsh and unjustified and without legitimate due process challenge if we had relied on the counsel and assistance of Interim-Chancellor Scott-Skillman, Special Trustee Agrella and Chancellor Harris, three people with Ed.D degrees from Nova University and combined public-sector pensions and publicly funded salaries of over $1million? Chancellor Harris and Special Trustee Agrella issued stellar statements without any criticism of the extreme ACCJC sanctions but reminded ACCJC critics that CCSF was obligated to meet the same standards that apply to the other 111 community colleges in California. If a Nobel Prize for Pompous and Irrelevant Statements existed, those responses would certainly be in contention for the prize. Chancellor Harris and Special Trustee Agrella seemed to take pride in informing all interested parties that San Francisco City College and the Board of Governors were not parties to the lawsuit filed by City Attorney Dennis Herrera--the action that has saved City College. So much for visionary leadership. As a teacher, I believe formal education, rational analysis and collective judgment can lead us to the truth in almost every human endeavor; however, serious discussion of restoration as a viable option and a time-frame of many months to reinstate our elected Board of Trustees repudiate that theory. The people here today have an ethical, legal and pedagogical mandate to reject restoration, to have our Board of Trustees returned immediately, and to have an accreditation review by competent, responsible and ethical members of an accreditation commission--and that's certainly not the ACCJC. There are reports that Chancellor Harris is going to announce that our BOT will assume their rightful decision-making role in 2016. If he concurs with that message and expects the people to accept it, I would say that his reasoning is as delusional as it is irresponsible.” Fred Glass, representing the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) spoke for CFT President Joshua Pechthalt: “I will just mention three points that he made and I will do it briefly in the interest of time. One, the plan you have in front of you having the newly elected board of Trustees potentially waiting to be seated until July of 2016 is unnecessary and unacceptable. That's what the voters said in the election just a couple of weeks ago and that opinion of the voters of San Francisco needs to be honored. Secondly many people have mentioned Chancellor Harris conversation’s with Barbara Beno in which he believed that the appointment was the only way to save the accreditation of City College of San Francisco. Ms. Beno did not keep her end of the bargain. The bargain is null and void. We believe that the authority of the Trustees never should have been usurped in the first place. Third, it is at the very least ironic and plain wrong that the institution charged with supporting democracy in our country through education should be itself prevented from exercising democratic governance. Please return full authority to the City College of San Francisco Board of Trustees as soon as possible in 2015. A number of students spoke to the value of CCSF as great college that tailor’s its education to meet the student needs. Martin Madrigal stated that he is “proud to say I will soon be alumnus of City College of San Francisco transferring to San Jose State in the spring of 2015. However I come before you as a United States Navy veteran with four tours of combat and an activist for students. I fulfilled my obligation to defend the Constitution and I am upset that this body is prolonging the time for Trustee with Extraordinary Powers.” He continued by stating that “We reiterate the facts that the student population has been and will continue to monitor the accreditation process. This should be more than enough reason to end the reign of the special trustee considering that during his tenure City College of San Francisco has had drops in students and classes and a mutation in who CCSF serves and their characteristics of San Francisco. It wasn't the actions of the special trustee that kept our accreditation alive. Rather it was the activism of students and the community.”“Students are fed up with this approach that has unbalanced the livelihood of marginalized students. Students will no longer take the deception and the response will be swift and heavy in its impact.” Allan Fisher, long-time faculty member at CCSF, stated that “The staff, the faculty and people love City College. Last night I received an email from the former president of the Academic Senate of City College Karen Saginor. I am impressed with the email and she gave me permission to read it. She identifies two flaws to extend the special trustee. The first is that you're denying the people of San Francisco the right to participate in the important decision making that is going to be made at City College. The second flaw is that the proposal as written would place control of the process into the hands of a person that has a major conflict of interest. For each stretch of the way, Bob Agrella is asked how soon he wants to relinquish power and put a stop to the generous paychecks he now receives. Perhaps you're not aware he was in a situation that created a conflict of interest in 2013 and invited by the City College Board of Trustees to serve as special trustee with major responsibilities for steering the college through the show cause process. Two weeks ago in oral testimony in the case of the people versus the ACCJC six of the ACCJC commissioners testified under oath about why they voted to terminate City College accreditation at that meeting. Each one of them said Bob Agrella presented a powerful negative view of the college to them. The commissioners said after hearing from him that they decided that contrary to what they read in the visiting team reports, City College had made almost no progress in meeting standards and was unlikely to make any in the future.” “Most of the commissioners gave the report that a major influence on the decision is a fact that no member of the Board of Trustees can come to the meeting. The fateful decision to exclude members of the board from that meeting was made by Bob Agrella as acknowledged by one of the commissioners and told the ACCJC that the accreditation that he had been overseeing was unsuccessful and the college was on the brink of failure. He helped persuade the commissioners to vote for termination whether or not that was his intention. We know that the consequence of the vote has been destructive to the college and members of the community driven away by the news of the determination and limited closure but the consequences of the meeting for Bob Agrella was elevation to a powerful position. It's not fair to the city of San Francisco or Bob Agrella to put him in a position acting as the gatekeeper when he is unnecessary and unemployed. Please amend your plan and reinstate the board of Trustees. Allow them to begin work in January 2015.” A spokesperson for Assemblymember Ammiano read a letter from the Assemblymember urging the board “to immediately return local authority to the duly elected CCSF Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are elected to represent the constituents and should be involved in any planning including preparations for the return to authority. There is no justification for suspending public oversight for this district for this length of time. As you know the visiting team of evaluators have recommended Probation and not Show Cause. The ACCJC ignored that and had a stricter one. In the most recent legislative session I, Assemblymember Ammiano, authored a bill requiring regulations describing the conditions in which a school may be assigned a special trustee and states that meaningful consultation must take place with the Board of Trustees prior to decision making. This bill received by-partisan support. The Board of Trustees approved every measure that the Special Trustee put before them. There is currently a communication break down between the Board in San Francisco and others. Every email shows their belief there is no purpose to have an elected board. And Chancellor Harris promised to be communicating with the ACCJC. The chancellor has made little effort to communicate with the Board.” Oscar Pena, the student body president at the Ocean campus, told the Board that “we used to have transparency and people in the public were able to attend the meetings and they went to 1:00 o'clock, 2:00 o'clock in the morning. Now it is one man making the most critical and vital decisions and meetings are behind closed doors and there is no public comment sessions at all.” “Many students are concerned, confused and most of all very upset that the way that the Board of Governors hasn't been representing the students properly. Why is it important that the Board of Trustee come back sooner than 2016? It's because the chancellor at our school and the special trustee have been hiring many people that are either interns or outside of our county so there has been much transitioning going on at our school, and there is no fair process at all for hiring these people such as the Vice Chancellor Student Development who has been replaced over and over for the last three years. There have been six people in that position. Now, we have this one guy named Michael Poindexter that came from Sacramento Community College that doesn't know anything about San Francisco. Now let's be real. This has been disrespectful of opportunity and people trying to get their degrees and working.” Alan D’Souza, a librarian at CCSF, spoke to the harm that has been done to CCSF: “At City College we are hemorrhaging students and a plan like this will continue that day-by-day. You also heard about the testimony that came out in the courts in the last weeks and we know what Beno testified denying due process to City College and Agrella himself used facts about the state of our college that were incorrect and false. Chancellor Harris has acknowledged that his expectations of the promises from Beno did not come through and Commissioner Steve Kinsella who provided much of the testimony on the financials of City College and how he cherry picked numbers that were not representive of City College and became a foundation of many of the commissioners vote to disaccredit City College. This Board should now acknowledge that all those errors were made and knowing that your intentions are to secure the accreditation of City College it would be prudent to put the Board of Trustees back in power.” Richard Hansen, speaking for the Community College Independents, stated that his organization did not want to see what happened at Compton College to happen at CCSF. He went on to say that “Certainly the voices that you have heard today show how important it would be to restore normalcy to City College as quickly as possible, and that's what I would like to stress. In the final paragraph you talk about the milestones along this road map. I hope you will watch closely with in some sense of eagerness to move the process ahead as quickly as possible. There is a lot at stake and a lot of passions involved.” A student from Santa Rosa Junior College, informed the Board of a meeting of the state wide student senate at which the CCSF contingent received a standing ovation. He stated that “find it appalling that students are not mentioned in the transition plan at all. It's not fair to assume that we're going to follow the shared governance processes outlined in the education code. We need to reaffirm our commitment to the student voice in this process.” Christine Hansen, a CCSF student, stated that she has “been lucky enough to have attended CCSF.” I am Christine Hansen and native and resident of San Francisco and have been lucky enough to have She noted that “The process leading up to this removal has been led by the actions of a rogue accrediting body. Please don't forget that. Your proposed plan endorses again granting complete control of CCSF to a special trustee now for a period of up to 18 months, but it goes further by specifying his word only as the metric whereby City College is judged, and with what this Board of Governors, a body of individuals obviously committed to California community colleges gives away its own ability to gauge the situation and advocate for City College. While this body apparently has great trust in their special trustee do you really know what he's been up to? Do you actually know where he's spending our money? Because we don't. For example, do you know that for the past two years City College is the only community college not to report the wages paid to its staff on the website Transparent California? Why would this body not only take a way the power of our elected Board of Trustees for potentially another 18 months or -- well, until whenever Bob says they're ready, but why might you with this proposals take away your own power? You have the power granted to you by the State of California to govern, to lead, to advocate and support the community colleges of California. With this proposal you give that power to just one man. Please don't be a captive participate. Restore democracy. Bring back our Board of Trustees today.” Harry Bernstein, an instructor at City College, was the last speaker before the Board of Governors on this item. He asked if the Board of Governors has lost sight of the bed rock principle of local control of California’s community colleges. He pointed out that “in the court testimony and the lawsuit against ACCJC that underline the flawed accreditation process whereby ACCJC issued an unjustified Show Cause sanction to City College in 2012. This improper sanction was a pretext for your removal of the elected Board. You have the power today to right these compounded errors. Please return our elected Board of Trustees to begin to reverse the budget, the downsizing of City College under the Agrella administration.” The next steps will be taken in January of 2015. The BOG will vote to eliminate the specific reference to ACCJC in its board regulations. The issue of the return of the elected trustees will also be considered. It is likely that in January of 2015 there will also be a decision by the judge in the case of The People vs. ACCJC as well as a decision by ACCJC as to whether they will grant CCSF two years of accreditation under their newly invented Restoration Policy.
