My job is to focus on meeting the accreditation standards so that we retain our education and this institution. I know everybody here in the room understands the vital importance that it has for the city and community. And accreditation is the public assurance that we meet a standard that all institutions are held to. And that is our goal. Thats my goal and role. And, again, vice harris came and he spoke to the leadership of our institution. He spoke with it was a group meeting. It included Academic Senate leadership, classified senate leadership, afp 21 21, aeiu [speaker not understood], department chair, and he made it clear that what the College Needs to do to keep its accreditation is to continue the work and continue the momentum to meet the accreditation standards.

My name is holman turner, im a professional photographer. I also teach at city college. Ive done that for the past 17 years. So, ~ somehow i fell in love with students and they fell in love with me. And for months ive been Walking Around as if this was something surreal, that we could actually be thinking about shutting down city college.
