City College of San Francisco will have two years to come into compliance with the standards of its accrediting agency, according to a news release from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. The accreditor granted City College “restoration status,” a new classification it designed with the troubled institution in mind.
The agency rolled out the new status in June after higher-education leaders and policy makers urged it to find a way to keep the college from closing. The move represented a major concession in the accreditor’s bid to shut down the college, which it said had not made sufficient progress in fixing financial and managerial problems the commission first outlined in 2012.
In the release, the agency’s chair, Steven Kinsella, said the college “has the ability” to resolve the problems within two years, “assuming a concerted and good-faith effort.”
