After receiving a "show cause" action from the
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges for
failing to meet several requirements around funding and budgeting, amongst other issues, the City College of San Francisco board voted to close down an administrative building and two instructional sites including the Castro Everett Middle School location (450 Church Street).
CCSF will have until October 15th to formulate a draft plan progress report to submit to the ACCJC to show their progress on addressing the issues. The college will then have until March 15, 2013 to make a case for why they should be able to keep their accreditation and also how they plan to close down the college in the event they do not receive their accreditation.
The Castro Campus was founded in 1983 as an educational center for San Francisco’s LGBT communities, and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies curriculum. Since then, educational offerings have expanded to include studies in English, Foreign Languages, Visual and Performing Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical Education, college and career planning, Health, and Astronomy. The interim CCSF Chancellor Pamila Fisher noted the classes will not be cancelled, but relocated.
