Enrollment at City College of San Francisco dropped from approximately 39,000 in Fall, 2019 to approximately 27,000 in Fall, 2020. City College faces its next accreditation review in 2023.
HANC has been concerned about cuts in available classes and about cuts in faculty. HANC is also concerned about the change in focus at CCSF from being a community college for all segments of San Francisco’s population to becoming a junior college, directed at those planning to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
The main argument in support of these damaging changes is that belt-tightening is necessary to ensure City College’s fiscal survival. Regardless of whether you agree with this argument, one of the best ways to increase City College’s income is to increase enrollment.
