(Reuters) - California's largest community college, the City College of San Francisco, will be forced to close next year if it fails to address a raft of longstanding problems that the school blames on state budget cuts.
The two-year college that serves 90,000 students risks becoming the first in California to lose its accreditation since 2006, triggering funding cuts that could shutter the school.
The threatened loss of accreditation for the school, which would occur in June 2013, comes as California's heralded system of public universities and colleges groans under the pressure of reduced government funding and curtailed school budgets.
The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges this week notified the 77-year-old City College that it must prove its worthiness to continue operating.

That’s odd.
I thought El Camino in Gardena was the biggest...
waste of money in the CA JC system.
... live and learn...
Trying to "service" 90,000 students is difficult ... especially in SF what with the cost of whips, chains, restraints, etc.
I have an idea - cancel the stupid train and use A TINY BIT of the money here to help the school survive.
...naaa, never mind - I’m dreaming again.
Can anyone say "illegal aliens"?
Who needs a college when California has the high speed train? Bil-yuns and Bil-yuns for the train but the community college will starve.
Maybe they should drop the Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and Transexual studies classes? Or Bathhouse Etiquitte 101....Naw those id be core kinda classes.....Can’t have that!
Probably will turn it into a penile colony.

You must be referring to the liberal arts programs at CSULB.
I only remember climbing Hard Fact Hill to buy books once a year.
Though, the bluegrass was good.
...why don’t they just raise tuition a couple more hundred grand?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer place.

A better idea would be to cut out the high priced PHD’s that do nothing to further the student’s education
“A better idea would be to cut out the high priced PHD’s that do nothing to further the student’s education”
Usually not a problem at the community college level, but yea, if they did something like that at Cal State and ESPECIALLY U-Cal, they would have a boatload of money available for students.
...but I guess that’s just not a very high priority.
