Governor Brown: Keep Voters in Control of Community Colleges

We urge Governor Brown to sign AB 2087, Tom Ammiano's bill that would prevent the State from removing public control over financially solvent community colleges.

Why is this important?

In 2012, the State suspended the voter-elected Board of Trustees of City College of San Francisco, even though the Board passed a balanced budget and an accreditation plan that is now mostly completed. Decisions are now made in back rooms without public oversight, resulting in sky-rocketing administrators' salaries. It's time to put the public back in control of City College and other California Community Colleges.
