Another twist in the saga of City College of San Francisco:
Today, state and local teachers’ unions said they will file suit against the commission that is threatening to terminate CCSF’s accreditation next summer.
Robert Bezemek, an attorney representing the California Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, said the lawsuit seeks an injunction against the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges for unlawful business practices.
"They can’t fail to adequately measure the quality of education," said Bezemek at a press conference on the steps of San Francisco City Hall. "They can’t repudiate the public policy of the state. They can’t violate California law. They do all of those things."
Joshua Pechthalt, president of the California Federation of Teachers, said, "Our action today is just one more step in underscoring the need to restore accreditation and take a look at this commission's behavior over the last couple of years."
