New College of California Finally Loses Its Accreditation?
We just received word, via a former student who has asked to remain anonymous, that New College of California has allegedly lost its accreditation. It should be noted that we have yet to confirm the validity of this letter from either WASC and New College But the full letter that was sent to SFist can be found after the jump.
Does the school have a plan if they lose accreditation? Yes, and it's a bad one. A few months ago, they said this might happen; and they said they might appeal the decision. This looks like it could drag on for months and months even though, at least as far as we can tell, it's inevitable that the place will get shut down.

those idiots at new college. why did they not get it together earlier? they should have aligned themselves with a community college in another city,
and voila, transformed themselves. I used to live near there, and it reeked of the knee-jerk anti establishment BS that one hears in the mission all the time. well this time they really are anti-establishment.
Well, that decision was inevitable.
Right after moving to SF I was driving down Valencia Street and saw a bunch of seemingly strung out individuals hanging around what I thought was a methadone clinic. Having previously worked up state with addicts I thought I'd go home and get my resume to drop off in case they had any job openings.
When I returned to Valencia Street I found out what I thought was a methadone clinic was in fact New College.
This business of losing accreditation is less than surprising.
too bad it's not the academy of art- assuming they even have a credential outside of a real estate license.
