Guest Speaker Summarizes Accreditation Concerns
Wednesday Lunch Meeting – October 9, 2013
Quotes from Carl Friedlander’s Presentation
“There is nowhere in else in this country where there is as much conflict in accreditation as there is in California.”
“This is the only region in the US where there is a separate accrediting body for community colleges.”
“There are more sanctions issued by ACCJC to the California community colleges than the total sanctions for all types of institutions across the entire country.”
“The required pre-funding of GASB 45, which consumes millions of district dollars each year, comes from ACCJC. No other accrediting agency requires this. Some ACCJC commissioners are or were on the Board of the JPA Savings account for GASB 45 dollars that the CCLC (Community College League of California) set up.”
