The battle to save CCSF continues.
Students, teachers, supporters, plus many others marched from CCSF’s Mission campus to the Civic Center campus over the pending downsizing of City College. Faculty union AFT 2121, which represents 1500 faculty at CCSF announced they have authorized a one-day strike in response to unfair labor practices at City College.

The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges visited the college in 2006 and afterwards they gave the college a few recommendations. No sanctions, just recommendation’s. But in an extreme twist that same commission returned in 2012 and concluded the college did not address their recommendations. So in 2012 the ACCJC put the college in a “show cause sanction.” Which means they had to correct the deficiencies in an unreasonable amount of time. The resulting “negative publicity” caused enrollment to drop. The CCSF administration has now chosen to downsize the college by 26%, which means more class cutting and loss of relevant courses that are needed by members from the San Francisco community and beyond. Representatives from AFT 2121 said ‘the district is not bargaining in good faith, and the union says that the campus police have intimidated them at picket lines.”
