Marin Independent Journal: Faculty union pickets College of Marin opening
Having overcome their greatest challenge – saving the school’s accreditation from the brink of elimination – College of Marin administrators are now turning their attention toward mending the rift with members of the faculty union.
At Friday’s convocation, President Frances White took the stage at the college’s Fine Arts Center accompanied by her guest of honor: a framed copy of the school’s accreditation.
“Currently there are 21 community colleges on ‘warning’ status and three on probation,” White said. “Accreditation is at the core of all of our standards. I am very thankful that our accreditation was reaffirmed, and thankful for all of the people who were responsible.”
