"Two days after announcing they will scale back summer school this year, Cuesta College officials may have more bad news to report—that’s if accreditation regulators decide the college hasn’t made enough progress in key areas.
“We are a long, long ways away from losing accreditation,” Cuesta College Vice President of Academic Affairs Cathleen Greiner emphasized.
As of press time, though, the school had not received word from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) as to whether it has made sufficient improvements in response to a warning from the organization in February 2009 that its standing was in jeopardy. A report from evaluators who visited the school in October is imminent.
ACCJC President Barbara Beno issued the warning, asking the college to correct deficiencies noted by an evaluation team
the previous October. A warning is the mildest possible sanction against an institution, and Cuesta remains a fully accredited institution, now and for the immediate future, regardless of the findings in the report."
